Alyssa Capucilli was born on November 2, 1957, in Brooklyn.
Alyssa Satin Capucilli studied at Sarah Lawrence College and earned a Bachelor of Arts degree.
After Alyssa Satin Capucilli graduated from Sarah Lawrence College, she pursued her interest in dance, becoming a professional dancer and dance instructor. She always liked reading and used to write stories as a child. Alyssa didn't consider a career as a writer until after her own two children were born. After that, she began to split her time between work as a dance instructor and performer and work as a writer.
Capucilli’s first published book was Peekaboo Bunny, a lift-the-flap book published in 1994. Illustrated by Mary Melcher, the book helps small children navigate in a garden. The connection between objects and sounds has inspired several of Capucilli’s books including Inside a Barn in the Country. This book encourages young listeners to mimic barnyard noises and uses rebuses for the text. In 1996 Capucilli introduced a new character to young readers in Biscuit. Illustrated by Schories, the series has even become so popular with readers that a stuffed toy puppy resembling the floppy-eared canine has become available. Alyssa Capucilli also wrote a series of books about Katy Duck.
Capucilli wrote other books for children like My First Swim Class, Pedro's Burro, Little Spotted Cat and The Brightest Star. Today Alyssa Capucilli teaches creative movement for young children. She is a member of Society of Children’s Book Writers & Illustrators and The Authors Guild. Now she lives in Hastings-on-Hudson, New York, with her husband and children.

2000Quotations: "I find that inspiration for stories and characters comes from so many places: our memories, our family, our friends, our pets, our own observations and our own wonderings,” Capucilli explained. “I first got the idea to write about . . . Biscuit after watching my daughter dog-sit a neighbor’s huge golden retriever! But deep in-side, I think that the Biscuit stories are really about that puppy I always imagined I would someday have, from when I was a young girl, reading and dreaming. And sometimes in stories, as in real life, dreams do come true! I finally got my puppy after all! He is a sweet and lovable chocolate Labrador retriever that my children named . . . Huckleberry! Huck, as we like to call him, loves to dig in the mud, splash in the pond, play with friends and take bubble baths! But most of all, he likes to curl up next to me on our big pink couch when I am working, and that is just fine with me!"
Alyssa Satin Capucilli married Bill Capucilli and had two children.
