Originally from South Louisiana, Rosalind Bunn is a veteran elementary school teacher. While she has dreamed of owning a bookstore, as the author of nine children’s books she is well on her way to filling the shelves with her own tales! Rosalind lives in Marietta, Georgia, with her family and a pet tarantula. This is her fourth collaboration with her daughter, Maggie Bunn.
Maggie Bunn now lives in Marietta, Georgia, but as a child, she joined her mother, Rosalind, on visits to many of the locations featured in this book. She loves reading, fishing, exploring, and sneaking lessons into her stories.
