Grow Little Basil, Grow

About the Author – Georgia Panagopoulos Georgia is a retired accountant who enjoys writing as a hobby. Her writing includes personal travel journals and short stories that reflect daily life's happenings, highlights, lowlights, and inspirations. A few years ago, Georgia wrote a wonderful book about her and her husband's childhoods in the village of Alfiousa, Greece, titled "Dad, Tell Me a Story." In writing this children's book, she was inspired by little Hudson, who brought home a basil plant and nurtured it with patience and love until it blossomed into a green, big, and beautiful plant. Georgia lives in a small coastal town in Rhode Island with her husband, Ted. In her free time, Georgia dedicates herself to fitness, movement, and nature. She enjoys walking, hiking, and running. She promotes fitness by coaching others to run and motivates them in every positive way possible. She holds degrees in accounting and psychology and is currently enjoying the rewards of retirement. Georgia loves to run, cook, travel, cross-stitch, and spend time as a grandparent. Her weekly schedule always includes a visit to Connecticut to spend time with the grandkids. Twice a year, she hosts fun week-long camps—one in winter and one in summer—called "Yiayia Camps," which Mackenzie and Hudson eagerly anticipate and enjoy each year.
