The Littlest Big Kid [Paperback] by Straten, Donna Van - Softcover

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Donna Van Straten Remmert grew up in Wisconsin. After graduating from the University of Wisconsin in 1960, Donna married and taught high school English, speech and drama until her two sons were born. When she and her family moved to Tokyo, Japan in 1971, Donna trained as a journalist through the University of Wisconsin's extension program. She published 50 articles about the Japanese culture while living there. Upon moving back to the states, she became a writer for Westchester Magazine in New York, published travel pieces in the New York Daily News and published a collection of children's plays. After retirement and a move to Austin, TX., Donna began writing a childhood memoir, "The Littlest Big Kid", using her family and community stories as representative of childhood and an era, the 1940s. Donna's sequel, "The Jitterbug Girl" will soon be available. She again uses her life to entertain with stories about an era, the 1950s. Donna teaches writing workshops through the auspices of Story Circle Network, a national organization dedicated to helping women tell their stories. She also teaches dream workshops, having informally trained at Jung Centers throughout the nation.
