Penny Parker Klostermann

Penny Parker Klostermann delights in the beauty and wonder of nature on her frequent outdoor walks. After seeing spiders and their silk through Nan Songer's eyes, she now considers it an extra special treat to catch sight of an intricately spun spiderweb shimmering in the sunlight. Penny taught school for twenty-six years and now writes picture books. Her titles include Merry Christmas, Dear Mars and There Was an Old Dragon Who Swallowed a Knight. Penny lives in Abilene, Texas.
