She is a retired school teacher, who resides on a hilltop in a quiet corner of Valley Center, California. Mrs. Nelson is happily married and relishes spending time with any of her four grandchildren. She enjoys drawing, painting and creating children’s books. Anne’s ideas for writing books stem from her 35 years of experience teaching pre-school, college and all the elementary grades, concentrating on the upper elementary grades. Her goal for writing books is to help readers easily understand a lesson in an entertaining way. This book is special to her because the main character is inspired by her father.view less
