About the Author
This mother of three beautiful daughters started writing poems as a young teenager and has continued writing. Her purpose for writing this particular book with its anecdotes, poems and various games, was to be a childhood heritage to her children. She truly believes this book has a rich appeal to a spectrum of old and young alike, capturing nostalgic memories of times past with fun-filled days of summer when innocent children saw life in its simplicity. Many personal experiences of her life are reflected in most of the stories. Another book in the near future will be written about boys.
