Suzanne Buzby Hersey loves all things Maine, including its state animal the moose! A New Jersey native, she spent every summer of her childhood in Maine s beautiful midcoast region. She dreamed of living in Maine year-round and of becoming a children s book author. Both dreams have since come true. Suzanne s first book is
My Maine. She lives with her husband and two children in Southern Maine, where they can often be found on family hikes, hoping to spot a moose. To find more books by Suzanne visit suzannebuzbyhersey.com.
