Elizabeth Everett spent 16 years as a classroom teacher before venturing into writing. Inspired by her energetic youngster, Jalen, and his love for books, she took her background in education and meshed it with his childhood interests. The result was edu-tainment in the form of children's books! She currently lives in Colorado with her family where they love spending time outdoors in the Western sun. She is the author of This Is the Sun and has several more titles coming soon. She can be reached at Elizabeth.Everett@ScienceNaturally.com.
