Meet the Author

A woman with long, wavy gray hair smiling at the camera, wearing a black blazer over a colorful, abstract-patterned shirt, and a necklace with a flower-shaped pendant, against a dark gray background.

Denise K. Savidge, Ph.D.

Dr. Savidge has been an educator since 1992 and has taught students in Pennsylvania, Arizona, Texas and South Carolina between ages 3 and 15. She has finished three Zero the Hero books, designed for educators, but a silly and fun read-aloud for families too.

The third installment, Zero the Hero Goes Berserk! is being illustrated by her daughter, and will be available soon.

There will be more to come, because the concept of Zero is important to understand place value!
