Margaret Smith Marston, Author

Margaret was born into a family of storytellers rooted in the values of service to others and working for justice.

She has always been a writer: volunteering for the school PTA, creating the family newsletter, writing briefs as a lawyer, and making up silly stories and songs with and for her children. She worked as a reading teacher and an attorney before deciding to commit her time to raising her three children.

As a mother, Margaret was intentional and instilled values of kindness, compassion, and putting oneself in another person’s shoes. Her children often heard “remember to be kind because you don’t know what another person is dealing with in their life.” She now works with young children weekdays as an after-school care teacher.

Margaret is thrilled to share “Eureka, Paprika!” an imaginary tale offering entertainment, humor, and encouragement to be our best selves.
