About the Author

Nancy Bauer-King is an eighty-year-old retired United Methodist clergywoman who is exploring her troubled relationship with religious imagery and ideology with humor and, hopefully, honesty. The title Little Feet Be Careful comes from a short song she sang in Sunday School at five years old and appears seven times in the book, each time with a different reflection. Though some of her stepping through these past two years of questioning has not been careful, with help from family and friends, she has survived the pandemic and her husband's death from dementia. Nancy's fiction and poetry can be found in several anthologies and magazines, such as Creative Wisconsin Anthology 2018, The Christian Century 2019, and Wisconsin Poet's Calendar 2020. She is also the author of Madness to Ministry (a memoir) and The Word From the Wise Old Woman (a feminine book of sermons).
