About the Author: Over the years Cathrene Valente Youngquist has enjoyed numerous book readings and signings. She has appeared on radio and television in the USA and in the Caribbean. As an educator, she was most grateful to have received several large creative arts grants to promote literacy in the classroom. Cathrene has had the opportunity of lecturing at several universities in Connecticut, and at regional educational and library conferences on the East and West coasts, often presenting a lecture called, "Looking Beyond Text and Illustration: Making a Book Come Alive for a Child." Ms. Youngquist has been honored as a recipient of the Western Connecticut State University Centennial Award in recognition of outstanding contributions to society. In addition to teaching in the pre-K through 12 space, Cathrene has also directed The Branford Dance Choir, which was drawn from five denominations. The Choir shared several cultural exchanges with the Sacred Dance Choir of Anguilla, BWI. Cathrene currently resides in Connecticut. She continues to promote literacy through her performance-based book readings, accompanied by stuffed characters, music, and dance. Cathrene enjoys spending time with her two children, Anna and Philip, and three wonderful grandchildren Gwyn, Ali, and Tim. Additional poetry by Cathrene was recently included in an anthology titled In the Shadow of Sleeping Giant. Ms. Youngquist has also authored a children's picture book The Three Billygoats Gruff and Mean Calypso Joe, as well as a book of poems for all Island Vignettes from Paradise.
