Glenda Armand
Author of Inspirational Picture Book Biographies For All Children
About Glenda
For my entire adult life I have pursued my passion of inspiring children to become lifelong readers and learners. I have taught pre-Kinder, eighth grade English and history--and all the grades in between, in public and private schools. I have served as a librarian in middle and high schools. Now that I am officially retired, I continue to teach children--but now using my very own books! I have written my books for all children. Sometimes the books are mirrors and sometimes, windows. Whether about Frederick Douglass, Augustus Jackson, Toypurina or Harriet Tubman, they all demonstrate our common humanity and the gifts we all have to share.
