Welcome readers! Hi, my name is Brenda Fiorini, and I am a retired public school teacher from Northern Illinois with over 30 years of experience. My background includes teaching a variety of grades (K-12) and subjects, including business education, Title I reading, ELA, writing, and literature. I became a self-published author in 2010, writing and creating literacy-based humane-education materials to share with kids, teachers, parents, and librarians. Planting the Seeds of Kindness! Enjoy!
