Everyone has a story, and children's book author Megan Wood is certainly no exception. Megan has always surrounded herself with art and artists - she's a longtime participant in Burning Man.
In 2020 she decided to escape the chaos of sheltering in place in the city and help out a friend's secluded farm in the mountains.
Her planned two-week stay on the farm lasted 60 weeks. In that time she learned to work the land and care for the animals.
Already an experienced and creative childcare provider, she then combined those two passions into what's become her Farm Day Adventures series of books.
Megan is passionate about engaging children in activities that stimulate their curiosity and sense of wonder.
Her unique experiences working on a farm are captured with humor and courage through her stories. You'll learn about her in this episode.
She even reads to us from her book Cash, The Clever Canine! (click the link to buy on Amazon)
