Carol A. Cole has worked with young children in schools for about 30 years as a pediatric physical therapist. Carol started writing "scripts" for a favorite TV show when she was ten years old and hasn't stopped writing since. She's the author of numerous articles and short stories found online and in anthologies. This is her debut picture book. Carol based this story on one of the teachers with whom she works-the original Penguin Lady. Penguin mouse pads, puzzles, wall decorations, and inflatable penguins fill the Penguin Lady's classroom, leading Carol to wonder what would happen should real penguins move in. Carol and her family live in Northern Virginia. Visit Carol's website at CarolCole.com.
