Even the work she has done shows her love of children. She has volunteered for CASA (court appointed special advocate), helping children through the court system when there is custody battles. She had worked for the Office on Youth program (preventing children from going into foster care). She also was a supervisor in a boys’ home. She and her husband were foster parents to six children at different times in their home. This story comes from a real-life situation: her cockatiel escaped his cage on her front porch. She wrote what she imagined the reason he wanted to leave, the dangers he would face, and the friends he would meet. She wrote that he would meet his best friend in the old pine tree in her yard. After all, everyone needs a best friend, even birds.view less
