Gwendalyn Belle, a native Oregonian, wrote Digger Dog during her fourth grade year, continuing to be inspired at her school and by her mom (Young Adult Author, Roslyn McFarland). When not in school, Gwendalyn enjoys music, swimming, playing with her sister, romping with the family's dogs, hugging on the two extra large cats, and her guppies. Gwendalyn is already working on the next two stories in the Color Your Own Story Book series, featuring Doodle Duck and Digger Dog's friends.
