about the author

Born in the beautiful Pacific Northwest and mother of two sons, Ann Loring is a retired kindergarten teacher who is very passionate about two things: children and the environment. After retirement, she combined her writing expertise with her paraeducator Boni Jo’s drawing talent into a series of environmental children’s picture books. She believes inspiring the interest and involvement of children in all aspects of environmental issues is the best way to ensure a better future for our planet.
