Marietta Camps, a lifelong artist, storyteller, gardener and nature lover living in British Columbia, Canada. As a young girl, Marietta kept herself and her sister occupied with stories that she dreamed up and often acted out. Throughout her life, as a mother, grandmother, and artist, Marietta maintained and cultivated her ability to imagine and share stories. At 85 years old Marietta penned her first story 'Once in a Lifetime Leaf' and later 'Listen to your mother Dandelion'. 'Spiders on the Move' is Marietta's third story. Read the stories and hear Marietta's voice. These stories will inspire children as they listen or read to themselves. All through the books, a wonder of nature is encouraged and celebrated. Marietta hopes to inspire people of any age to write down and share their stories.
Each of mom's books is illustrated by a different artist. These first three books are illustrated by an artist in Canada, in Russia and in Indonesia.
