Bonnie Ferrante is a hybrid writer (publishing traditionally and self-publishing). She was a grade school teacher for thirty-three years, ten as teacher-librarian. She has received three OAC grants for her writing. She has recently entered the field of self-publishing and is greatly enjoying illustrating her own picture books although this becomes more difficult as her Parkinson's Disease progresses.
Bonnie also has a Youtube site.
"Welcome parents, teachers, and kids to my safe youtube site. Kids can listen to a book being read or a story being told, learn about words and numbers, and sing along. Adults can watch a book trailer and find new ways to teach your children using inexpensive materials, active learning, and the outdoors."

It was difficult finding enough nectar to feed her as she healed. Before she returned to fairyland, she granted me wings but they only appear on solstice and equinox days.

(The wings are actually a sculpture. When I stood in front of it, my husband noticed it looked like they were mine and took a picture.)(less)

I enjoyed it. It was quite different from the movie, more spiritual, more real, less humorous. I was glad it did so well.
