Carter's childhood love for Nature grew into a teaching career based on a love for children. Developing methods to guarantee student success, she used teamwork and unique assignments to lead the students to independent learning.After retirement, writing children's books seemed the best way to keep teaching children. Her stories focus on the life skills needed to become an independent thinker. Ms. Carter is presently writing two more Great Forest Adventures that began with "Can Dragons and Frogs EverEver Be Friends?"
