Callen Kropp is a North Dakota author whose family has raised bison (a cousin of the oxen family!) for decades. After a career in corporate communications in which she wrote every kind of article, feature story, editorial, column, and publication, she pursued her lifelong dream of writing books. Adventures with her family, including children and grandchildren, provide unending inspiration for Callen's rhyming Ozzy Ox picture book series. When not in her corner office writing, Callen loves photography and traveling. She and her husband spend time each winter in Gold Canyon, Arizona. Her bucket list includes visiting all United States National Parks, and she loves taking their grandchildren to destinations they choose. So far, none of them, however, has chosen the Land of Oxen. They are happy to just read about in Ozzy books! See less
