Norene Paulson loves words. As a former language arts teacher, she was fortunate to share that love with middle school students in a rural Iowa school district for twenty years.

Now, as a picture book author, she continues to share her love of words with young readers and is excited to share her debut picture book, Benny’s True Colors.

Norene lives on a country acreage with her husband, and when she isn’t reading or writing, you will find her playing—you guessed it! —word games.
