Christina darty

Christina Darty is the daughter of David and Carrie Canzoneri.  She attended Texas A&M University-Commerce on the honors scholarship and graduated with a BFA in Painting.  She now lives in Commerce with her husband Jake and their 2 children.   After working with young kids for many years, she is excited to use her artistic ability to create "Brush Your Little Pearly Whites" which stems from her own childhood.  She and her siblings always enjoyed singing the tooth brushing song with their dad.  Her delightfully playful pictures are a perfect fit for "Brush Your Little Pearly Whites."  She is currently working on “The Turning of the School Year” and is producing stunningly beautiful illustrations. Watch for it in 2024!

Bryant Canzoneri

Bryant Canzoneri is the son of David and Carrie Canzoneri. As a child, Bryant loved to make art.  He spent much of his time drawing and dabbling in other media.  As he matured, he never lost that childlike love.  In high school he discovered that he could make a living as a graphic designer, so it was only natural that he would go on to earn a BFA in Communication Design from the University of North Texas.  He has indeed made a career as a designer and marketer in the north Texas area and considers himself blessed to get paid for something he has always enjoyed.

“So Did I” was his first children’s book (unless you count the three-page book he wrote when he was three years old entitled “Tom and His Mother.”) His next book “Tick Tock Tickle Bug” came out in 2022.
