Brief description: Cindy Sommer's love for gardening started at a young age while admiring her mother's green thumb. She passed this love of plants on to her daughters, who are the inspiration behind her debut picture book, Saving Kate's Flowers. Along with gardening, Cindy has always had a passion for writing, a passion she cultivated with a BA in English from SUNY Oneonta. Cindy does her gardening and writing at her home on Long Island, along with her husband, two daughters, two dogs, and horse. For more information, visit her website: http: //www.cindysommer.com/
