Biographie:
Barbara Glazier-Robinson, Ph.D., a former speech-language pathologist, and recovering psychologist, has been working with and helping children her entire career. Born with what a colleague called the going foot, Barbara is an avid traveler. Her most recent journey was to Cambodia to help fund a fresh-water project for the Singing Kites School in Phnom-Penh. Her first book, Grace from Space: A Race To Save Earth, was fueled by total frustration over immigrant children being separated from their parents and tossed into detention centers like sacks of potatoes. To create a better ending for these children, she wrote a better story. (Thank you, Gail Larson.) Mostly, she hopes this book will be a ton of fun for children in grades three through six who love superheroes, feisty heroines, magical settings, mayhem, mischief and hijinks, happy endings, and joyous outer-space fairytale adventures. The book may have been written to appeal to children between eight and eleven, but the message is universal and for all ages. It is dedicated to mighty girls and women of all planets waking up to find the power of their voices to ignite change. Check out her photo. She will help anyone find their voice. Barbara currently resides in majestic Sedona, Arizona, with the love of her life. (Sedona is slightly more beautiful than planet Dream Catcher.)
