About the Author
In her earlier life, Pat Olson enjoyed a successful career in advertising in New York, writing and producing TV commercials for Marx Toys. Pat discovered her unique ability to view the toys through the eyes of a child and now uses that insight when writing children's stories and poems.

Pat is a graduate of Adelphi University with a B. A. in English. She is married and lives in West Los Angeles with her husband and three tortoises. The tortoises enjoy a life of luxury in Pat's backyard, and one day may crawl into one of her stories. To top it all off, this petite lady is an instrument-rated pilot and holds a black belt in Judo. Her writing richly reflects her compassion, her sense of adventure, her knowledge of courage and her deep understanding of what appeals to children.
