About the Author:
Harry the Caterpillar
is a book that children will want to read and relate to
over and over again. Author Michelle M. Birkenstock
grew up in Newburgh, NY, where she was surrounded by the
region’s natural beauty. She continues to live there
with her husband and children. Look forward to
additional children’s books by Michelle Birkenstock.
She has more stories to tell and more lessons to teach. |
