Author Description

Imagine what your life would be like if you had not been born a human being, but say, a butterfly, an apple, a kangaroo, or even, a monkey! In my second book, I Could Have Been Born A Butterfly, a child takes a journey through the animal and plant world and describes how life would have been very different had he or she not been born a little boy or girl. Parents and teachers can use this book as a learning tool for younger children to identify several forms of life and to encourage discussion about the differences between their lives and those of animals and plants. As a former elementary school teacher, I enjoyed writing this book that encourages children to use their imagination and to better understand the world around them and thus more fully appreciate their own precious lives.
