A running theme in Carol Haden's life passed down from her mother and grandmother has been fostering compassion, empathy and understanding. For her beginning career, Carol was a critical care nurse in the ICU and Emergency Room for 25 years. Motherhood, caring for family, community, friends, and exploring her creative side have engaged her since. It was a fun project for her to write this children's book in an entertaining way to showcase the concepts of tolerance, acceptance and not making snap judgements about others.
In Carol's spare time, when not golfing with her husband and friends, they love spending time in the mountains of Virginia with their four children and seven grandchildren.
