About the Author

Dolores D. Bennett was born in the Philippines. She wrote articles about anything that inspired her to think or made her laugh. However, the demand of being a teacher made her put writing aside. After retiring as a GED teacher, she'd planned to go to Spain as a missionary in March 2020, but Covid-19 cancelled her plan. Being quarantined gave her the opportunity to write her biography, His Hand on Me which was published in 2020. In 2021, she republished her first children's book: The Big Black Feather and wrote five new ones: The Wise Hen (a prequel to The Big Black Feather), The Hen's Dream (a sequel to The Big Black Feather), My Vaquita, PupPup the Bully, and Stories of Boogie's Friends.
