Gail Mulder has been teaching
for over 38 years and loves it as much as she did that very first year. She has
been an educator in California, New Jersey and currently Virginia. In the
process, Gail was named Teacher of the Year and nominated for Disney’s American
Teacher Award. She has loved enchanting her students with “Ms. Mulder stories”.
It wasn’t until recently that her watercolor paintings began to tell her
stories for her. She is known amongst her students for being “mean and proud of
it” (with a wink, wink).
Sueann Tupy, a dear friend,
created the “ducky breathing” method and encouraged Gail to write and
illustrate Ducky Breathing. This story is Gail’s first published book,
and she hopes that it will be an entertaining yet informational piece for
students, teachers, families, and readers everywhere.
Life’s bazillion experiences
have taught Gail to sing without care, be OK with messy junk drawers, accept
unruly hair and… be where her feet are. She loves to create in her upstairs art
studio overlooking her garden oasis and enjoys crafting jewelry, painting,
design, and playing dress-up. You can usually find her with her family, riding
her motorcycle or bicycle, or frolicking with her beloved ball-obsessed golden
retriever, River.
