About the Author
Adriene Madden lives in sunny California with her husband, four children, five chickens, one rooster, three goats, 6 bunnies, three ducks, 1 dog and a locally famous pig named “Petunia Porkchops”. Adriene spends her days with her children, where they write stories, draw, explore, and create together! She also teaches a multi-sensory writing curriculum for children, Pre-K -8th grade out of her backyard barn, in her “Little Red Schoolhouse” for lessons that last a lifetime. Adriene and her kids also enjoy growing Organic vegetables and baking. “I’m trying to create a wholesome, authentic environment for my children, driven by their imaginations rather than battery-powered toys! I want to offer them rich learning opportunities, and some of the same experiences that I had as a child on my Grandma’s small farm.”
From Global Travels to a World of Creativity
As a little child, my parents were studying to be teachers. We moved to London, England, so my father could attend and teach at the University of London. After traveling all over Europe and Canada, we moved back to the United States, and I grew up in California. Even though I have traveled to many places all over the world, my favorite destination is in my imagination!

A Book That Can Make a Difference!
As parents, we want to raise kids who care about helping others. “I love seeing kids helping other kids.” My kids are participating in a ‘Read to Feed’ program, and the money they raise goes to helping end childhood hunger. In that vein, we wanted to donate a portion of the proceeds from the sale of each book to charities that help children and help end childhood hunger. Thank you for buying this book and making a difference!
