Autorenporträt

Tammy Lovell lives in Franklin, Tennessee with her husband and two dogs. She has three adult children who are the biggest blessings and inspirations in her life. She is a thirty-six-year veteran public school teacher. Mrs. Lovell graduated Magna cum laude from Vanderbilt University in 1984. Mrs. Lovell grew up in Atlanta, Georgia and is extremely proud of her southern roots. Her mother grew up near the Choctaw community in Conehatta, Mississippi. Mrs. Lovell grew up learning many Choctaw words and customs. She dedicated her life to teaching children. This book began as a way to introduce the students in her class to important events in history. Children are our hope and our future. They need to grow up understanding and appreciating different races, religions, and cultures. History helps them learn about our past mistakes so they are not repeated in the future. This book is an attempt to teach those lessons and to stress the importance of an education. The illustrations for this book were created by Emily Derrick. Emily is a thirteen-year-old "graduate" of Mrs. Lovell's third grade class.
