About the author
Arielle North Olson
13 books9 followersArielle North Olson is an author of children's books.
Arielle is the daughter of noted author Sterling North, who wrote Rascal. She is also the niece of author, poet, and editor Jessica Nelson North. She is one of the copyright owners of Sterling North's body of work. She now has 3 children and 7 grandchildren, and is a resident of St. Louis, Missouri.
Arielle is from a multi-generation literary family. Arielle's great-grandparents, James Hervey Nelson and Sarah Orelup Nelson, were Wisconsin pioneers. In 1917, which would have been her great-grandfather James Hervey Nelson's 100th birthday, three of her great-uncles, including early Amazon missionary Justus Henry Nelson, wrote extended biographies about their parents and their pioneer farm life. These writing efforts may have been a literary inspiration to both her father, Sterling, and her aunt, Jessica.

Two grandchildren discussing the arrival of their grandmother to come to Christmas. While waiting they did things to the tree and presents before she came. They did doubt that she is coming but little do they know that she is going through great lengths to come.With the illustrations of the grandma doing dangerous and grand adventures it did make it seem that she might have passed and that they did not know where she was but at the end she did make it to Christmas. I like how they did not want to do things with out her but did them before she came.

Melinda and Timothy are getting ready for Christmas and waiting for Grandma to arrive. But this isn't your typical Grandma. This is a brave, monkey loving, safari taking Grandma. FUN!
