Building the Bridge School

Laura A. Stewart lives with her family a short stroll from the banks of River Raisin in Michigan. Here they've spent many seasons catching toads and turtles, saving baby birds, avoiding snakes, and watching cicadas emerge from their shells. Laura has enjoyed creating stories from these nature experiences while raising her almost-grown family, and now relishes grandparenting and the many antics that go with it. Her education is in child development and elementary education. Her splashy little picture book, published in 2013, is titled Puddle Jumper.
