She taught elementary school children for 35 years, specializing in reading. She imparted her love of reading and learning to hundreds of children including her own six children and thirteen grandchildren. After retiring Sara wrote her first book, The Old Yellow House, a memoire of her life growing up on a farm in the 1920’s.
Someone to Dance came to her in a dream early one morning in Geneva, Ohio where she lived with her husband James. She and her daughter Jeanette, the artist, collaborated to create the vision she believed came from God.
Sara had great faith in God and built her life upon that faith. Her hope for this sweet story is that it will help children know how much God loves them and that everyone will have childlike wonder of God’s awesome creations.view less
