Wilson discovered the joys of writing as a freshman in college when she was
asked to write a song to introduce the girls in her dorm. When the audience
loved it, she realized the power of words and has been hooked on writing ever
since. Adele graduated from BYU in Elementary Education and taught for 25
years. Teaching provided her with numerous opportunities to write programs,
scripts, tributes, stories, songs and poems. She wrote Plum Gum for a colleague who couldn't find kid friendly poems with
enough phonics chunks in them. The poems became an instant success with both
teachers and students and are being used in classrooms throughout the state.
Adele was born in Whitefish, Montana
and was raised in Provo, Utah
and Grand Junction, Colorado.
Her hobbies include storytelling, music, reading and thinking puzzles. Her
greatest source of joy is her family. She is the mother of four...Audrey,
Brett, Laura, and Russell Giles. She is married to Craig Wilson, and they
currently reside in Washington, Utah.
