About The Author

About the Author A sister to three younger brothers, a mom to a son and daughter, and a grammy to Caleb and Kylie. A teacher of Language Arts, Theatre Arts and Dance. It would appear that I have completed the "natural order" cycle of life! While teaching, I witnessed daily the joys and pains of being a child. With my propensity for silly, laughter, hugs and most importantly, the ability to listen, I learned to help the child endure and heal. I'm excited about writing positive material along with heartwarming illustrations dealing with common childhood experiences that can enrich or forever alter a child's life. My first book, Red Rubber Boots, was the exclamation point at the end of my "natural order" cycle of life. This book is a Second! There can never be too many to express my joy and excitement!!
