Elaine Vanderberg grew up with a love of reading and books, stories and news. But she never expected to write books! It all started with a granddaughter asking for a bedtime story. As the words came from her mouth, “Chloe” came to be, she’s unsure of how. Later, when she chose to have “Chloe” published a second story formed in her mind then another and another. They were “Timmy, the Timid Cloud,” “Sammie-the Sad Salamander,” and “Cora, an All Alone Girl.” She then realized each story was based on a common problem children face and her hope now is that children read these books and understand you can succeed if you just believe.
