My name is Jill Ammon Vanderwood. My husband Bill and I are the parents of four and the grandparents of six. We make our home in Utah.
I am the author of four books for children. Through the Rug and Through the Rug 2: Follow that Dog are middle grade fiction. Stowaway, The San Francisco Adventures of Sara, the Pineapple Cat is a picture book, and What's It Like, Living Green? Kids Teaching Kids, by the Way They Live--is a nonfiction book featuring families who live green, kids who are making a difference for the environment, and tips as simple as putting on a sweater, rather than turning up the heat. My latest book was published in March of 2009.
