Über die Autorinnen und Autoren

When Kathy-jo Wargin was a young girl, each night after dinner, her mother let her choose between washing the dishes or writing a poem. Before long, she decided that if she grew up to be a writer, she wouldn't have to do any dishes. She has since learned that even though she has published more than twenty award-winning books for children, she still has to wash the dishes. Kathy-jo lives in Minnesota with her husband and her son.

Inspired by nature, animals, and children, Kim has worked on many educational projects, but "B is for Bunnies" will be her first Picture Book. Kim lives in New Jersey, with her husband Michael and three kitties: Choco, Skittle, and Charlie. In 2008, they are also expecting a new addition to their family, their first child.

As soft April showers make our hearts sing, let's find the sweetness of God's gentle spring.

B is for Bunnies

Spring brings us Bunnies and baby birds too. Spring is the time when most everything's new.

G is for Grass

He gives us Grass, soft and green as it grows. Let's take off our shoes and wiggle our toes.

H is for Heaven

Or we can lie down in the meadow instead. Look up through the clouds-Heaven's right overhead!
