About the author
My name is Arlene Wray, and I'm the author and creator of the Snorkkel Whalengton children's books.
I was inspired to write Snorkkel Whalengton through my experience as a preschool educator, nanny, and grandmother. For more than 15 years, I have observed my bright and eager students happily dive into topics ranging from arithmetic to art, and their capacity for learning and problem-solving is endlessly inspiring. The activity they are always most excited about is story time, and I love watching their imaginations drift away to unknown realms as they learn about different characters, places, and ideas. As someone with a background in science and a bachelor's degree in chemistry, I sincerely appreciate my students' inquisitive minds, and they are ultimately what inspired me to write Snorkkel Whalengton.
