About Author

Barb Landon is not just a storyteller; she is a weaver of worlds where the smallest creatures spark the grandest adventures. With a career spanning 35 years as a dedicated K-7 educator, Barb shaped young minds long before she began captivating young hearts with her tales. She was a pioneer on the front lines of the digital revolution, championing the first computer classes in schools and eventually serving as a Technology Coordinator, proving her vision for the future has always been boundless.

Yet, her most cherished role began in retirement: that of a grandmother. While raising her granddaughters, she was immersed in a world of hedgehog facts and dragon lore, spinning nightly bedtime stories that were met with wide-eyed wonder. It was this pure, familial magic, coaxed by her granddaughter Lily, that finally compelled her to put pen to paper. Barb’s narrative voice is a direct reflection of her life’s work: it is nurturing and patient, yet infused with a sense of wonder and the clear, compelling logic of a master teacher.
