Person
Before writing, Carole worked as an accountant and children's librarian. She writes under the supervision of a bossy cat at her father's old desk in Everett, Washington and in a converted woodshed on San Juan Island.She imagined how disappointed Clara must have been to be denied the chance to write a book about her heroic trek with her mother across the country. The Year We Were Famous is an imagined recreation of the book that did not get written over one hundred years ago. For more information, visit Carole's website at www.caroleestbydagg.com. There you'll find more about the author, a book trailer, and a curriculum discussion guide to further explore the lives of real-life Clara and her suffragist mother, Helga Estby.
