    Helen M. Woodhouse

    Helen M. Woodhouse has been a writer, poet, graphic designer, desktop publisher, and stay-at- home Mom. She has spoken to elementary students in the classroom, empowering children to write their own stories with her “Six Steps to a Story” project. Helen and her husband Allan moved from the Canadian Prairies to the Costa Rican Rainforest where they live in Hummingbird House near Manuel Antonio. When Helen became aware of the illegal caged-bird trade in Costa Rica, a life long passion for helping animals in need inspired her to write Sofie’s Solitaires.
