title: The Dead Butterflies Diary
author:  Sandy Baker 
description: Sandy Baker combines two of her passions--writing and gardening--into her children's gardening books. The Dead Butterflies Diary is the third in her circle of these kid gardening books with a plot. She's been a Sonoma County Master Gardener since 2000 and subtly weaves bits of her gardening knowledge into her books. Two others in the circle are Zack's Zany Zucchiniland, 2012, and Mrs. Feeny and the Grubby Garden Gang, 2011. In 2012, Sandy co-wrote with Tom Reed a thriller, The Tehran Triangle, for the more mature reader (Amazon readers gave it their highest marks!) Sandy also writes other short stories and poetry for teens. Her professional life has included: technical writer and editor, newspaper reporter and columnist, travel writer, director of development and PR, and instructor of English and Social Studies for Army GIs. Sandy graduated from Penn State with a BA in English.
