Norma J Saiter

Norma Jean Saiter grew up on the plains of eastern Colorado and attended one-room schools for grades one through eight. She developed a vivid imagination as she entertained herself while exploring every corner of the farm and nearby prairie. Her respect and love for animals grew as they became her playmates.

Norma retired after fulfilling her dream of teaching both children and teachers in Colorado and Aruba.

Writing about her childhood grew out of her desire to give her students first hand information about life and education in a time gone by. Her first book was published in 2000, "Growing up on the Prairie." There are five books in the Sonja series. Currently, she is writing a memoir that takes the reader through the joys, frustrations, and victories in the classroom titled “The Glory Days of Education.”

Norma lives in Winsor, Colorado with her husband, George, She has written a number of children's books.
