Happy Birthday to Bonnie Graves, who celebrates on November 10th. Born in Racine, Wisconsin, Bonnie moved with her family to California when she was a youngster. She earned her BA in English literature from California State at Long Beach. She then taught elementary school. Today, Ms. Graves writes full-time. She and her husband, Michael Graves, write textbooks for students who will teach reading.
Bonnie's first children's book, The Best Worst Day, was published in 1996. Her most recent picture book, Taking Care of Trouble, is an early chapter book, a transitional reader for kids who have learned to read and are ready for something more challenging. Two early readers are Adventure Underground and the Heroes of Beesville.
