About Terquoia

Early Childhood Educator, wife, mother, and friend. Terquoia Bourne has many titles, but never did she imagine children’s book author would also be one of them. From an early age, Terquoia enjoyed reading and writing poetry. Convinced she possessed a natural gift to create beauty through rhyme, Terquoia’s parents encouraged her to continue writing during her adolescent years. Although Terquoia continued to write she was often reluctant to share her work with anyone besides her mother and father. Terquoia eventually became preoccupied with college studies and stopped writing for many years. However, the birth of her first child in 2013, prompted a rebirth of her desire to write. Terquoia desires to create timeless books that inspire children to dream and achieve whatever they choose to be in life. 

Terquoia earned her Bachelor of Arts in Child Development and Family Studies in 2005. She returned to school in 2013, to complete a Master of Arts in Early Childhood Education. Terquoia resides in California with her husband and two children.
