Annette Whipple celebrates curiosity and inspires others through her words-written and spoken. She challenges people to live with curiosity, wait with wonder, and raise readers in a world of screens. She is a speaker and children's author of over a dozen books. However, the people who know Annette best think of her as a wife and mom, former teacher, nature lover, chocolate chip cookie baker (and sometimes burner), people-loving introvert who lives in Chester County, Pennsylvania.
