Katie Sharpe was raised in a large family on the Canadian prairies. Times were not easy growing up, and she moved to a larger eastern town in her mid-teens where she married and raised three children of her own. With her children grown and raising families of their own, Katie followed a long held dream to write and illustrate children’s books. A natural and gifted artist, Katie received very little formal education or training. Overcoming all her challenges, she expects that this will be the first of many inspired works.
