The Clara Jean episodes are one of many stories evolving from living in a country atmosphere with all the fun and learning experiences it provided. The author and her family raised a variety of farm animals, along with five children. She writes from the perspective of a mother and a participant. She states that she was equally amused by the children and their creatures. Educated as a teacher, this mother and grandmother has always been interested in children and most particularly in encouraging their reading. She feels that her family has created its own story and produced many little footprints. Her goal is for the readers to be able to enjoy her children as much as she did! Aside from writing, the author also enjoys sewing, quilting, karate, genealogy, and painting. Some of the illustrations in the book are hers and her grandchildren's.ver menos
