Sharon was inspired to write The Atlas of Alliterative Animal Adventures while teaching in Singapore. She had many students in her class that were just learning English -and this book is a fun way for students and their families to learn English grammar by creating silly sentences and exploring many parts of the world. Sharon has traveled all her life - and still enjoys going to new places. She and her husband Steve, have four adult children, and four beautiful grandsons. When at home Sharon enjoys quilting, reading and walking her dogs. Sharon and her husband Steve also raise chickens - just for their yummy eggs. The inspiration for Don't Run in Socks came from taking care of her grandsons - and remembering how many times parents have to repeat the same old warnings! No matter what generation it is!
