Amy Robinson was born in Pensacola, Florida, but only resided there for two weeks. Her family moved often. As a result, she attended six different schools in Southern California before the age of 11.

As a young adult, for a short time, Amy lived in Texas. While in Texas, Amy started helping migrant worker children learn to read. This experience inspired her to earn a degree in teaching from Arizona State University. Her teaching experiences have included working in rural and inner-city schools, teaching Navajo students in Northern Arizona, and tutoring the young and old while living in Iran.

Amy has traveled widely throughout the United States, Europe, Africa and the Middle East. During her travels, her main interest has been to connect and learn about young people and their goals and dreams. Currently, Amy's imagination finds her page in her Arizona home not far from the Superstition Mountains.
