Ted Macaluso writes science fiction stories, adventure tales, and books for kids about art. He was born in Brooklyn, New York. His father was a scientist; his mother an artist. He has been a college professor and a research director on studies of child nutrition and hunger. But he always loved storytelling. He now writes fiction full-time.
His first children’s book, Vincent, Theo and the Fox, is a story about Vincent van Gogh and growing up. Kirkus Reviews called it “…a charming, unique way to introduce youngsters to great art while providing an important message.” The Washington Post said “…the colorful paintings jump off the pages and will give you a lot to think about…Macaluso wants to share the beauty of the art world with all kids. And even if they don’t admit it right away, it’s cool. Very cool.”
Ted’s newest children’s book, Seeking Cézanne: A Children’s Mystery Inspired by Paul Cézanne and Other Artists, lets you step into a world of art and adventure with Jamie and her brother, Billy. Trapped inside a painting, the siblings want nothing more than to get back to the real-world museum. But every time they try, it disappears. See the reviews on Goodreads.com here.

He studied creative writing at The Writer’s Center in Bethesda, Maryland, taking courses on writing for children, writing science fiction and fantasy, plot development and much more.
