The pond in this book was patterened after the one she spent many weekends with her grandmother. She spent most of her childhood outdoors.
I would bring my pen and pad to the pond and write at a picnic table enjoying the scenes and sounds surrounding me. That was my inspiration for most of my writings. Fascinated in the images and colors of the beloved California Seasons. The outdoors provided me with great freedom to create writings that one day I would hope could hold the attention and imagination of young readers. I still live in Northern California with my ever inspiring Daughter. Lizzy, and A Gift from a Genie are my first picture stories.view less
