Mary Loves to Sing

MARY PERRONE DAVIS is a wife, mother, grandmother, Lay Carmelite, and Registered Nurse (working as a school nurse). Mary never planned to be an author. She was spending some quiet time outside on a women's retreat when a butterfly landed nearby and her first book, "Mary's Butterfly Garden," was born. This was soon followed by her second book, "Mary and the Fireflies." Her latest book, "Mary Loves to Sing" teaches children, and parents, to step out in faith to give back to God what He has given them. Mary hopes that her love of The Lord is reflected in her books and in her life, as she gives back to The Lord the gifts He has given her.
