She grew up in Flanders, became a teacher, and now lives in St. Helena, California. https://www.encyclopedia.com/arts/educational-magazines/cooley-regina-francoise-1940 Excerpt: "...I never forgot a particular recipe book in my mother's kitchen. Even today I can still see the colorful animated carrots, tomatoes, spoons and forks dashing across the pages. Books are the enablers to let us travel into other worlds. Moreover, books can even span the chasm between rich and poor. "I would like to be known as a writer who has integrity. I want my stories to instill a sense of self-esteem in children. Once you can do that, nothing is impossible. Last, just because the publishers are not listening, one should not stop writing."
