About the Author

Before she wrote "Two Little Girls from Kissimmee," Rosemary Brofos authored the puppet play "Dudley's Secret," available for free download on her website at www.rosemarybrofos.com. She often creates stories and artwork about and for children. Her work in the arts is infused with her deep appreciation for the wonder, innocence, inventiveness, and energy of childhood as well as the knowledge of children gained through her professional career as a licensed marriage and family therapist. In addition to the illustrations for this book and the puppet play, Rosemary is a prolific artist whose paintings, also visible on her website, depict subjects including children, gardens, and animals. Widowed, the mother of three grown children, and the proud grandmother of one, she lives on a private and plant-filled little lane near the ocean in Vero Beach, Florida, a setting which offers endless inspiration for her creative imagination.
