Vijaya
I am a scientist-turned-children's writer. Also a wife, a mother, a teacher and a beloved child of God. I am the author of over 30 science books for children, published by MacMillan/McGraw Hill, Capstone Press and Perfection Learning and over 60 magazines pieces, predominantly for Ladybug, Odyssey and Highlights for Children. I am also an instructor at the Institute of Children's Literature. I write and teach from home in beautiful Charleston, SC.

Times are bad. Children no longer obey their parents and everyone is writing a book. ~ Cicero (106-43 BC)
