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.

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.
