The author is Marietta Camps, a lifelong artist, storyteller, gardener and nature lover who lives in British Columbia, Canada. As a young girl, Marietta kept herself and her sister occupied with stories that she dreamed up and often acted out. Throughout her life, as a mother, grandmother, and artist, Marietta maintained and cultivated her ability to imagine and share stories. At 85 years old Marietta penned her first story 'Once in a Lifetime Leaf' and later 'Listen to your mother Dandelion'. 'Spiders on the Move' is Marietta's third story and there are two more stories being illustrated as I write this. Read the stories and hear Marietta's voice. Marietta's stories are inspiring to children as they listen or read to themselves. A wonder of nature is encouraged and celebrated. Marietta hopes to inspire people of any age to write down and share their stories. See less
