About the Author: Judith A. Barrett's first book, Pink Baby Alligator, is a story she told her young granddaughter, who then requested the story be written down so she could read it for herself. Soon, the story passed through many grandchildren, proving particularly meaningful for her autistic grandchild. As a child, Judith wrote plays for her sisters to present to their delighted family and friends. She continued her writing over the years by writing light-hearted articles for church newsletters and blogging. Her blog, Good for the Corn, chronicles her adventures as a chicken farmer in Florida. Currently, Judith serves as program director for a national non-profit agency providing spiritual renewal weekends for Christian churches.
