About the Author

Additionally, Carolyn traveled with OneWorld Schoolhouse to St. Lucia for their Rainforest of Reading Program, where she was able to share her story with even more readers. Her second picturebook, Grandpa’s Stars, was published in 2023. Her third picture book, I Drove My Bed to Grandma’s House, will be released in the fall of 2025.
