An army brat recently turned Michigan local. I graduated from BYU with Bachelors in History Teaching and Sociology and a minor in Chemistry Education in 3 1/2 years. A feat possible because I started college with the credits of a Sophomore (thank you AP tests). I enjoyed all my classes, but I think I loved the act of learning most. My books are a reflection of that. They all have an educational element that would help my kids, students and offspring, understand everything from utilizing word chunks (Kindergartners Read) to principles of chemistry (Poetical Reactions). I hope they are as beneficial to you as they have been for me. -Stephanie Neilan (Who also writes under the name LeAnn Mathis when learning is optional, but enjoyment is mandatory.)
