Tamra Andrews is a children's writer who is enchanted with myths and legends of the natural world. For many years, she wrote radio scripts on historical astronomy and sky legends for NPR's Star Date, an astronomy radio show produced by the McDonald Observatory at the University of Texas at Austin. Later, she published two mythology encyclopedias and two teacher's guides, all of which include interpretations of myths and legends that explain the natural forces and how and why they moved the world. In addition to writing books, Ms. Andrews writes reading passages and educational resources for students from K-12 through college. Many of them include adaptations of ancient legends that reflect the mystery and magic that exists all around us and that children of all ages struggle to understand. See less
