N. J. Stratford knows some of her plant names-but not all of them. She tried using a bow and arrow once-but was only okay at it. But in her 20-plus-year career in children's book publishing, she has designed hundreds of book covers and layouts, proofed hundreds of books, and devised a reading program. So she thinks that counts for something ;) She also hopes you enjoyed reading about Fern Juniper as much as she enjoyed writing about her.
