I loved books, so I rode my bicycle to the public library and enjoyed their books. I also liked to draw, so secretly I was hoping that I could someday create a book. Now that I am a whole lot older, I can look back over my life and see that my wishes have come true. After graduating from Ball Slate University, I taught children in grades two to eight in elementary schools in Anderson and Muncie, Indiana. Then I went back to college and earned two more degrees so that I could teach college students who wanted to be teachers. I taught children's literature and language arts at both Ball State University and Salisbury University. After forty-three years of teaching, I retired, but there was still one more wish that had not come true. I had not created a book. It seemed like a really hard job, but now I have 'What's Wrong with Charlie?' I hope you enjoy Charlie as much as I enjoyed bringing him to life. I could not have done these things if I had not had a husband who helped and encouraged me. We have three grown up children-Kristin, Buddy, and Paul, seven grandchildren, four great grandchildren, and an Irish setter named Duchess.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Xlibris Us","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50415497249042,"sku":"9781453514801","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_d0fc6280-2263-4c58-be37-35e4faae321f.jpg?v=1729403965","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/whats-wrong-with-charlie-9781453514801","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
