What is the aim or goal of your writing: 2nd ed. says, "The Creative Writers in Schools program of the Michigan Council for the Arts has made it possible for me to work in the classroom." Contemporary Authors says, " I love my family and I love the earth. Accompanying my husband to Paris for his historical research projects, I found myself wondering about the movements of fourteen-million-year-old rhinoceroses. Museum directors there graciously helped me to pursue my questions. Home with children now, I contemplate the pebbles which the glaciers delivered to our doorstep. It's fun helping children to discover the marvelous stories in every day stones. It's exciting to interpret for them recent scientific findings. Trying to express all of these things on paper is my favorite challenge."
