Author Information

"Sandy Baker is passionate about writing and gardening and thus combines the two in her gardening books for children. When she was about Gai's age, she and her scientific sleuth friend Teddy used to catch lightning bugs, snakes, Japanese beetles, and snails. To them, only the beetles were ""bad guys"" because they ate all the hollyhocks. Now after 15 years as a Sonoma County (CA) Master Gardener, Sandy knows a lot more about which critters are beneficial to our gardens. She is an advocate of kids getting outside and gardening, whether it's for food or for fun! She also says, ""Read, because readers are leaders!"" Sandy loves to bicycle, take pictures, and travel with her husband. You can find out a lot more about Sandy and gardening on her website www.sandybakerwriter.com."
