Joanne Belgrave was born in Barbados. As an Early Childhood Educator, she ran her own daycare for over 27 years and volunteered in the community through her church. She is a mother of three and a proud grandmother of five. Joanne's happy place is when she is crafting and creating stories and poems, and then her joy is doubled when she gets to read to the children. When she is not reading or writing to children, you can find her visiting, and baking with her precious grandchildren.
