Vivian Marguerite Garner

The author has written throughout her life; in the kitchen at a crowded desk while watching children or between various other duties. Now retired, she has her own office space but still writes mostly in the kitchen, between tasks. It seems to work. She has published articles, poetry and two small books. This is her first children’s book to be published though there are several lingering in her computer. Children are a central concern, having six of her own and now somewhere around 18 great-grandchildren (they are still in production and the number is speculative).
