Soon after we married my husband took me by the hand and led me to the wild places where he worked as a game ranger and a biologist. I was in heaven and although I was an artist the natural places and wild animals around me held so much interest that I wanted to write for children. Little was written for children at that time and I wanted to pass my knowledge on. Shuter&Shooter published my Taffy Tales (now out of date) as a school reader and perhaps The Elephant Buttons can be used the same way. Taffy Tales was made into a school play and became a tape for the blind. I have written stories all my life but have not been successful in publishing them. D2D gives me that chance.
