About the Author
I was born in Bridgeport CT, and have lived in the small town of Easton CT all my life. I graduated from The University of Connecticut where I studied agriculture, English, and philosophy. I started writing poetry when I was in the third grade and now, at the age of 84, am still writing it! I've published ten books of my poems, as well as several easy readers, and more than twenty rhymed picture books. For a number of years I wrote gardening articles for The New York Times, nature editorials for The New Haven Register, and a column about horses and dogs for The Bridgeport Post (now The Connecticut Post) . On my fourth birthday I received the gift of a Shetland pony, and over the years I have owned a number of horses and ponies, and ridden almost every day. I've painted, made mobiles, baskets, small sculptures, and fabric wall hangings. I like just about any art and craft, and next to writing poems and riding, I especially like to work in my garden. I have two grown children and three granddaughters. And I can't wait to write another book!
