About the Author

• She was born on the prairiebut not in a little
  house. It was a big house where she grew up, with
  a three car garage, a sprinkling system and a
  driveway great for roller skating. It was
  actually the suburbs of Indianapolis, Indiana.
  But Indiana is a prairie state and it is very
  flat. So it still counts. Besides it sounds
  better to say I was born on the prairie than I
  was born in the suburbs. Although hills are rare
  on the prairie, we had one. It was great for
  sledding. At the bottom there was a pond. In the
  summer she played pirates with my sister Martha
  and best friend Carole.

Her sister Martha is five years older. I
worshipped her. She was very smart and musically
gifted. She spoke French so well she went to a
French camp in the summer time. She also spoke
Pig Latin and could do twelvesies in jacks she
could do none of these things. She still does
them all except for jacks and Pig Latin.
