We’re sending our next Letter for Kids from Lois Sepahban! Lois writes about all the animals that have shared her life with her, including a very special dog named Strider, an Australian Shepherd that walked her to the bus stop each morning and met her there every day when she came home from school.

Lois Sepahban spent her childhood climbing trees, reading books, and creating maps and leading her brother and sister on hunts for buried treasures. On all of her adventures she was accompanied by her dog, Strider, who walked her to the bus stop every morning and then met her there to walk home at the end of the day. She studied literature in college and became a teacher. When she read books out loud to her students, especially books like The Moorchild by Eloise McGraw or Sounder by William H. Armstrong, she became inspired to write books of her own. Today, she is married and has two children. She lives on a small farm where she has a barn that she fills with animals who need homes. She has dogs, cats, and the sweetest chickens in the world!
