Laura Derico

Laura Derico is an Acquisitions Editor and Content Developer for David C Cook. A mother of 2, she has served in her local church children’s ministry for much of the last 3 decades. In her 20-year career in publishing, she has enjoyed developing numerous children’s ministry resources, including books, Sunday school curriculum, VBS materials, and Bible studies. She’s thrilled to put God’s good news into little hands and hearts, whether that is through fun lessons and crafts or through beautiful picture books such as the recent release, The Advent Storybook.
