Becky Van Vleet is an author and retired school principal and teacher. She holds a master's degree in elementary education from Indiana University. Investing more than 40 years in the educational arena, her greatest delight is igniting children's love of learning and reading. She reminisces, "My sweetest memories are gathering my daughters around me for daily reading and cuddling times when they were young. And now I carry on those moments with my grandchildren." When she is not busy with her family, she loves to bike, hike, and grab her brushes for oil paintings. Having raised four adult daughters, Becky and her husband make their home in Colorado Springs.
