About the Author

Robbie Cycotte says, “The inspiration for this book came from my childhood memories in rural North Carolina. A special, loving bond developed early with my grandparents. We worked side by side, usually in the kitchen, garden, cotton field, or country store. I developed a love of nature from learning to grow flowers and vegetables. My grandmother taught Southern-style cooking; fried okra, squash, cornbread, and Papa Pies. I was grown before I realized that our Papa Pies were really Egg Custard pies.”

She loves children’s literature and knows firsthand how children learn to read. Her goal as a writer and educator is to make books come alive for young readers.

Mrs. Cycotte graduated from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and has over thirty-five years of experience as an educator.
