About the author: Central Illinois author, Debra Daugherty, enjoys eating cold pizza for breakfast and watching PBS mysteries. She’s a huge fan of London, but her travels are now closer to home. Debra wrote THE MEMORY JAR as a tribute to a beloved aunt who had Alzheimer’s. Debra’s excited to announce she has a contract with Young Dragons Press for two more picture books, GRANDPA’S BARN and HEART OF STONE. A fun fact: Debra has kissed the Blarney Stone, but admits she has always had the gift of gab.
She certainly had me from Christmas to cozy night in!
