About the Author:
Peg Robinson's lifetime love of books began when her father read stories to her when she was just a little girl. When asked what she wanted to do when she grew up, she always said "I'm going to write books for kids."

After a career as an advertising copywriter, Peg married and raised two children.

Peg's children grew up enjoying an assortment of animals. They included cats, dogs, rabbits, gerbils, hamsters, and a horse named Sam. Living in the country, they were surrounded by all kinds of wildlife, from skunks and raccoons to deer and coyote.

Peg became an avid bird watcher and learned to identify a variety of warblers, woodpeckers, and hawks. Her binoculars are always at hand, even on vacations. This background is the foundation for many of her stories.

Peg loves doing needlepoint and colored pencil drawings. The little drawings throughout her Pegtales are her own artwork done with colored pencils.

"Pegtales" is the fulfillment of a lifetime's wish to write a book of stories for children. Read and enjoy.
