Her degrees include a Bachelor of Arts in Education and a Master of Arts in Special Education. She is the mother of three grown children - Paul, Sandy, and Mike. It was her grandchildren’s love of reading that inspired her to write children’s books. Karen resides in Kingwood, Texas which is located about 22 miles northeast of Houston. Reading, writing and teaching are her passions. About the Illustrator Linda D. Munroe is a loving wife, mother and teacher who now enjoys working from home. Raised a small town farm girl, Linda has love for animals, nature, and gardening. Her husband, Jeff, often willingly serves as guinea-pig for her organic cooking creations. The four family dogs add great adventure to their lives. Linda’s art is done in a variety of mediums from oils to watercolor, sculpture to woodwork, and sewing to needlepoint.
