Before there was Kindergarten and play-school and Mother's Day Out, there were neighborhoods and neighbors. It was a time when kids in the neighborhood not only had each other but they also had access to the "grown up". These grown ups helped raise the children who lived around them and the children helped the grown ups stay young. This is a story of one of those children. This five-year-old toured the neighborhood each day. She visited with the grown ups and learned from them at the same time they gave her the attention that she craved. It was a magical time.

Autorenporträt
Livonia Glaves is an observer. She has had lots of experience with this gift growing up as child #4 in a very large family. There were not many chances to be heard in this large boisterous group, so observation was her way of participating. Later this proved to be beneficial, as her observations became the basis for characters improv, playwriting and teaching characterization. Livonia holds a BFA degree from Southern Methodist University and has directed Children's Theater for over 40 years. She is married to William Glaves and lives in Houston. Livonia is the mother of two grown sons and enjoys introducing her four grandchildren to the art of story telling.
