Learn more about Sandy's story

Sandy Ecker, children's book author

The first book in a three-book series is Penny’s Adventures: In Search of Tasty Treats. Sandy is a debut children's picture book author. She captivates readers by featuring the Prairie animals that inhabit her Colorado home. Her goal is to educate children about these animals, including their habitats, diet, and social relationships.

In her teaching days, she enjoyed sharing animal stories with her students and using them to enhance her lessons.

In her spare time, she likes being in nature, hiking, learning, and capturing the diverse wildlife that she encounters. When not writing, she photographs animals that could be her characters in future books.

She cares about the environment and all the critters that inhabit our planet and, through her books, hopes to pass on that same passion to her readers and listeners.
