Laura StroebelLaura Stroebel has been a Connecticut middle school educator for eighteen years. Over that time, she has met hundreds of children just like the characters in these poems and loved teaching them all. Laura says that every classroom is special, and so s every family. The more we learn from each other, the more we grow together as community. It's nice to think of this farm as one big family. The author is married and lives in Salem, Connecticut with her husband, Ken, and two children, Greta and Kiefer. She says there is a little Latisha Llama in Greta and a little Riddhi Rabbit in Kiefer. Their cat Toby (Kitty-Witty) and dog Chaucer (Howly McHowl) are both featured in the photographs.
