Carolyn Wild is an author, an artist, a farmer and an elementary teacher with over 25 years of classroom experience with preschool to grade 3 students. She believes that reading is the key to success in the primary years. She is the creator of the Wild Acres Farm Series: I LIKE DUCKS ALL YEAR LONG, BIG DOGS LITTLE DOGS ON THE FARM, ADAM’S BIG HORSES PULL A SLEIGH and COUNTING GOATS ON THE FARM. Her goal is to build a library of emergent readers that capture the imagination and promote literacy. Carolyn lives on a farm called Wild Acres in the beautiful Okanagan Valley in British Columbia. She has a grown son and grandchildren through her husband Geoff. Their Wild Acres farm overlooks a valley with quaint farms, rows of fruit trees and pristine lakes. Carolyn and Geoff raise and show heritage livestock and promote natural farming methods. Learn more about this author at https://carolynwild.ca/
