Health educator and English instructor by profession, writer by nature, Marilyn Johnson spent thirty years in Asia traveling, teaching, raising a family, and collecting fascinating anecdotes about animals. She also served as managing editor of a monthly health periodical and a church news magazine. In addition to this collection, Johnson has authored books on heart disease and diabetes, both of which have been published abroad in several languages. Now retired, Marilyn continues to enjoy traveling, quilting, waterfalls, and wildflowers, and recounting her clan's experiences with creatures great and small. She is daily inspired by the words of 1 John 3:1: "See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God!" (NIV)
