About the Author




With the daily instructional guidance of her parents, along with her two sisters, Bernetta L. Simmons (Toy) began her young literary life reading the comics and the metro section in the daily newspaper. Walking long blocks to the local library helped to mold her love of reading and writing. She started writing short stories as a child and later began writing poetry. Her own children and the students she taught inspired her work. Simmons wrote meaningful phonemic plays for her young students to act out at school and wrote several books before publishing Edna Elephant Stops Bullying at School. Now retired from decades in the classroom, she lives with her family in Maryland.
