Mary and the Potter's Wheel

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 during a women's retreat when a butterfly landed nearby, and her first book, "Mary's Butterfly Garden," was born. This was followed by "Mary and the Fireflies," "Mary Loves to Sing," "Mary Visits a Farm," "Mary and the Little Lamb," and now, "Mary and the Potter's Wheel."

GRACE METZGER FORREST graduated from the Art Institute of Atlanta in 1990. Her career has included animating children's CDs-"making dinosaur eggs hatch and bean seeds grow." She has created animated mutating cells for the CDC, presentations for Coca-Cola Corp., video game scenes, and JELL-O creatures for Cartoon Network. One of her projects won a New Media Invision Bronze. Grace works in her studio near the Chesapeake Bay and shares a "junior" farm with her husband and daughter, complete with a garden, brown eggs, and two goats.
