About the Book

About the Author

La Verne Olsen is a retired medical transcriptionist.. She wrote her first story, If a Peacock Follows You Home, at the age of 73 after she took her grandchildren, Matthew and Garrett, to the zoo. A peacock followed Matthew around the zoo all day. When they got home, he asked “Grandma, what would happen if the peacock followed us home?” From then on Grandma and Mathew wrote the story and more followed. When her grandchildren talked, she listened. They have been her inspiration. This is her first book of children’s stories written especially for her six grandchildren, Kyle, Ryan, Kristyn and Chad Olsen, and Matthew and Garrett Prellberg, but now for everyone to enjoy. La Verne lives in Tucson, Arizona with her daughter, Jana. She still works part time as a medical transcriptionist.
