About the Author

I worked in education for 35 years and have recently retired. I was an elementary classroom teacher for 12 years and an elementary Media Specialist for 23 years. I loved being in the classroom but my heart has always been with books. When I was in elementary school, middle school, high school, and college I worked in a library! 

When my daughter was young, I would make up different stories for her at bedtime. She is all grown up now, but she still remembers the stories and has encouraged me to write them down. Maybe one day I will!

One afternoon, while I was sitting in my backyard enjoying a book, a raccoon walked by. That was all of the inspiration that I needed to write a story! I plan on writing many more stories about all of the raccoons and other animals that live in my backyard.
