Rasche, Kathleen: - Kathleen Rasche is a retired journalist and mother of two grown children. While reporting on school events, Rasche met children whose parents did not read to them. That discovery prompted her to write and illustrate her first children's book, "Cake for Breakfast Every Day." She made it available in English, bilingual Spanish, French and Traditional Chinese editions to encourage language learners or dual-language families to share the experience of reading. Success of Cake and a fondness for children's poetry has led to her latest book, Float to the Moon and other bedtime poems. "I remember loving poetry when I was a child and my own children certainly enjoyed it when we read poetry together. I'd like to encourage parents never to miss that bonding experience of sharing a book with their child."
