About the Author
Lisa was born and raised in Vineland, New Jersey, alongside her sister, Laura, by her parents, Beverley and Joseph Panzino.
She continues to reside in Vineland with her husband, James Patrick DiNunzio. Raised in a Christian home, Lisa has been
active in a wide range of endeavors from a very young age. She has traveled throughout the United States and overseas,
singing contemporary Christian music in churches, detention centers, prisons, youth events, revivals, and concerts. At the
age of sixteen, Lisa recorded her first album, He’s Alive. She later recorded three additional CDs: a family Christmas
album Merry Christmas…With Love (2006); the EP Change in My Life, released the same year; and What Would
Jesus Do?, released in August 2007.
Lisa has been interviewed by newspaper staff writers and radio hosts and has appeared on Christian television.
She is also the author of several books, beginning with her poetry booklet, Beautiful Moments (1993). Many of the poems
featured in that publication, as well as others she has written throughout the years, have earned multiple Editor’s Choice
awards and have been featured in anthologies by the International Library of Poetry. Lisa also wrote two children’s
stories: Snicker Learns an Important Lesson (1997) and Little Twinkle Learns Her Purpose (2018), the latter of which
received the Reader’s Favorite Five-Star Seal. In recognition of her leadership and achievements, she was named to
Strathmore’s Who’s Who Worldwide 2018 Edition.
Lisa held the title of Mrs. Cumberland County in 1998, during which she visited schools to read and donate her children’s book, Snicker Learns an Important Lesson, and participated in community events promoting early childhood education and literacy.
Lisa’s first cookbook, Seasoned with Love: Treasured Recipes, was published in 1998, followed by Lisa Ann’s Seasoned with Love II
in 2008. Her recipes have also been published in nationally recognized magazines and cookbooks, including Reminisce, Taste of Home, and Gooseberry Patch. In addition, Lisa was a food and recipe columnist for The Grapevine Newspaper, South Jersey
Mom Magazine, and SNJ Today Newspaper, cumulatively for over a decade.
After many years of involvement in ministry work and study, Lisa received her ministerial license in 2004. She’s also a strong advocate for education: in 1999, she became a licensed preschool director in the state of New Jersey; in 2001, she earned her CDA credential through the CDA National Credentialing Program, Council for Professional Recognition; and in 2007, she received her FDC credential from Rutgers University.
Lisa’s goal is to continue to share her passion of singing, writing, education, health, and cooking with people of all ages. Lisa’s ambitions have been many, but one of her main goals is quite simple. To quote Lisa, “It’s always been my goal to be a good role model to young and old alike. I strive to be kind, generous, encouraging, courteous, and enthusiastic. I also try to encourage others to use their God-given talents to the fullest. Dream big and then work hard to achieve those dreams. I’m living proof that goals and dreams can be accomplished! Just remember to thank those who have helped you along the way and encourage those wanting to reach and achieve their own goals and dreams.”

REVIEWS & COMMENTS

Sophia is a bright, beautiful, sweet young girl who read my new book and gave her honest review/opinion, these are her own words: "I loved it! Every other book that I've read that talked about Jesus was too hard for me to understand, this book was very easy to understand, and actually fun to read!" "And I think Little Twinkle is so cute!". Sophia did not realize that her words are exactly what my goal was for this book; to share a great message about creation and our creator, and that children would understand the message, and have a cute "character" to enjoy throughout the book!

This book is a great read for children of all ages, especially for the 6-10 year old range. The book did a great job explaining the love of God and our purpose on this earth in a way that is easy for children to understand! My mom read this book to my cousin recently, and later in the day she went to my mom and said, "Titi Theresa, you know what I learned from that star book? What the word purpose means!". Which my mom replied, "Well what does it mean?". And my cousin says excitedly, "The job God has for you to do!" And this little girl is only 7 years old! If there are any children in your life, please buy this book for them, it will definitely spark questions and can be a major blessing for them.

Noah stated that my children's book was cool, and that he really liked the illustrations. Josiah kept saying "Little Twinkle, Little Twinkle, Little Twinkle, and wanted to keep looking through the pages!!!" SO cute!

Wonderful Story for children of all ages. I loved everything about it. Especially the added bonus of the Bible Verses. Wether it’s a child or his/her parent who doesn’t know Jesus, this is a great vessel to lead anyone to Christ.

This book is an amazing explanation of God's love & purpose for our lives. The message that is shared about salvation & purpose can be understood by all ages. My 3 & 4 year old love it! They ask me to read it to them every night. They even pretend (they can not read on their own yet) to read it back to me and describe the story perfectly. The scriptures at the end give it that perfect finishing touch, not to mention the beautiful illustrations are bright and colorful. Everything you can ask for in a children's Christian book. Teaching about Salvation & Purpose in a perfectly understandable, fun way. I can honestly say this book touched my life as well as my kids and I know it will touch yours. I highly recommend this book to all ages.

An absolutely lovely book!! Little Twinkle is a darling character and the message shared between her and Momma star is easily understandable and captivating in it's presentation. The art work is wonderful too. The message of Salvation presented in a sweet, simple and loving story about a little star. I would love to see every church AND school add copies of this book to their libraries. I'm 67 and I love this!! Great job Lisa Ann!!

My daughter and I share reading this book together as often as possible. Since the first time we read it, we were drawn in, the story piqued our interest. My daughter was captivated by the story line and she grew increasingly excited to turn the page and see what happened next. Each time we read it, the excitement regenerates and we get excited as if it was the first time. Truly a great book about our Savior appropriate for all ages!
~ Amazon Review ~

A must get for any special little girl or boy in your life!

~ Amazon Review ~

Excellent, well written children's book with cute illustrations. Enjoyed the scripture verses at the end of the book which collaborates this amazing books PURPOSE! It takes one on a journey way beyond a little star finding out her purpose, it dives perfectly into creation, Jesus birth, death, salvation, and many other biblical topics. In my opinion it's a great read for children ages 6-12, but also as an adult I enjoyed it enough to read it several times, as did some of the elders of my family. I would not hesitate
to purchase this book for ones self, family member, friend, church, etc.

Little Twinkle Learns Her Purpose book,
as well as the back cover!

I was blessed that my Grandmom, Flora Marie Panzino, (age 95) was able
to read my children's book before she passed away, which was just four
days after she received the copy I gave her. She was so excited and
just gushed about how cute Little Twinkle was, and stated that she
just loved the story and all the illustrations...she was all smiles
during the "photo shoot"...she was one of my biggest fans!
