Being an avid reader her whole life, she read a lot to her young Children and also told them stories she invented herself. One of these was the "Little piggy Straight tail" story that the children loved and wanted to hear again and again. Over the years she often thought of publishing the story but life had more pressing demands. Raising her family, frequent moves, work, and learning to paint took precedence. So it took many years until the time was just right and this little story was printed. Illustrating the book brought lots of fun and laughter and hopefully little children everywhere will enjoy the story as much as her children did.
