About the Author

Leetress M. Burris was an elementary school teacher for
almost 20 years in the Appoquinimink and Capital School Districts. She became a teacher not only to make a difference, but be the difference in
children’s lives. Even though Leetress loved making an impact on students, at present, she is not teaching in a classroom setting. However,  she is still changing lives through the written word.

Leetress developed a love for writing at a very early age. Her journey began with reading books from the library where her mother worked. Leetress discovered that she could go anywhere in a book by using her imagination. She has traveled all over the world and learned so many facts and trivia through the pages of books. Eventually, this led her to write poetry, short stories and later, her first book.

 

At present, Leetress has seven books published – A Wish for
Snuggles, Heroes of the Bible: The Stories of Jonah, Noah and Joseph,
Maps Are Amazing!, I Am Me!, The World Is Beautiful, The Odd Puppy
and Finding the Rhythm in You. Leetress enjoys spending time with family andfriends, attending church services, reading, writing and traveling.
