The Pasta Family Author and Illustrator Michael Ciccolini was born and raised in Newark, New Jersey.

​

He's a graduate of the University Of Southern California's School Of Cinema-Television, and a huge fan of movies, comics, books, and television -- any and every form of storytelling. With  "The Pasta Family" All-Ages Illustrated Adventures, he enjoys the rare opportunity and privilege to tell epic, emotional, comedic, action-packed and imaginative stories on the broadest possible canvas -- one that starts with the simplest of childhood tools of a pencil and paper.

​

Each Pasta Family book has a moral and a life lesson to share -- framed by colorful characters, settings, and humor that parents will appreciate as much as children.

Oh, and macaroni. Lots and lots of macaroni!
