About the Author – Liz Gauthier
Working with children, being a mom and soon to be grandma have been the highlight of my life. I love to spend free quiet hours puttering in my flower beds, driving or hiking, reading, writing and playing in a local Winnipeg flute choir. Nature is my muse. “Let us be grateful to people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.” – Marcel Proust.
