About the author

I began writing when I was five years old. I wrote, illustrated, collated, and stapled together my own books and went door to door selling them. I think writing is in my blood--or maybe ink flows where blood should be. I love writing fiction. I love writing non-fiction. I adore poetry and delight in the feeling of words flowing through me and landing on the page to create a poem. I'm hopelessly in love with words and often find myself repeating a word over and over just to hear the music it makes. I also love the challenge of putting the right words together so children can understand. You get the idea. I'm addicted to words and books--reading and writing them.

I liked this children's story of Nephi when his bow broke and his family were struggling to get food. Not a big fan of the illustrations. I did like the little descriptions at the bottom of the page that gave more info about the Liahona, promised land, etc.

The text is a good adaptation of the story, and I like that it doesn't cut out all the big words.
