I was a children's book editor at Scholastic for seven-and-a-half years before I moved to Seattle to work at Cranium Inc. Now I'm striking out on my own as a freelance editor and writer. I have worked in many bookstores, including Wild Rumpus in Minneapolis. Children's books are my passion!
This was for my grandchildren for something to do during the pandemic. They pick something to do and we do it together. Their father now works with them on the weekends. Lots of fun and learning. They love learning new things. I would recommend this to all families to buy and learn together.
