About the Author

Sandra Wallus Sammons was a Florida elementary school librarian in Lake County for many years.

She has written all the books in the Pineapple Young Reader Biographies series: Marjory Stoneman Douglas and the Florida Everglades, Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings and the Florida Crackers, The Two Henrys: Henry Plant and Henry Flagler and Their Railroad, Henry Flagler: Builder of Florida, Ponce de Leon and the Discovery of Florida, Zora Neale Hurston: Wrapped in Rainbows, and John and William Bartram: Travelers in Early America.
