Boo Bear's Light: An ABC Rhyming Picture Book for Children
Catherine Ann Russell loves animals and nature very much. She lives with her husband, Ed, on a small farm in Lyons, Colorado, and has goats, chickens, cats, and two cute burros named Nikki and Norman. At one time, Catherine had seven large Nubian goats, and she would take them all on a walk up the valley near her home. People in the neighborhood used to call her, "the goat lady." Before this time on the farm, Catherine worked many years as a scientist to study the sky and air. She released many weather balloons from canyons, fields, and even ships out at sea. People then used to call her, "the balloon lady." Now, Catherine enjoys writing beautiful children's books. Through her Basketful Relief Project and BRP Books Foundation, she hopes to help feed little babies and children around the world by selling her books and donating money to organizations who care for children. Now, people call her, "the book lady."
