A propos de l'auteur
While managing a middle school library for thirteen years,
Dawn Chevoya enjoyed bonding during lunch hour with kids on the fringe and with students after school working on yearbook layouts. She loves to dig in the dirt, plant things, and later photograph them. Chevoya has two children and seven grandchildren that always make her smile. She was born in Fresno, California, grew up in Miami, Florida, and now lives in Lansing, in the middle of the mitten part of Michigan, a little too far from the woods she loves.
