Author Description

Melanie's sons begged her to tell them a story during a car ride without the usual stack of books handy. Just then, a bird flew past, and she wondered if it was looking for food - and what kind. More teasing for a story followed, which triggered her making up the tale for her sons. They requested it be retold many times thereafter; the nieces and nephews she shared it with enjoyed it as well. Thus, it became a natural choice for her first venture into children's literature.
