CAROLE MARSH has been writing fiction, non-fiction, and curricula for children and adults for more than 40 years. Founder and CEO of Gallopade International, Marsh partners with schools, teachers, and parents to "make reading and learning fun." "Teachers, librarians, parents and others constantly asked for more books, especially history, geography and biographies. I say I am a "fourth grader forever!" still eager to learn, share, be challenged, and challenge students to benefit from rigorous study toward a great job and future. I have visited schools all across the nation and learned so much from dedicated principals, teachers, librarians and others who have the same hopes and dreams for our children." Marsh is the 2007 Georgia Author of the Year and has won countless awards for her best-selling series Real Kids! Real Places!. Her social studies curriculum can be found in K-8 classrooms across the nation.
