About the Author

Sara-Fay Tarlin was the oldest daughter who grew up in a loving, warm family in Brookline, Massachusetts. She graduated from Boston University in 1959 with a B.S. in Elementary Education. After graduation, she taught second grade in Foxboro, Mass., for three years. However, at that time, women were not allowed to teach once they became pregnant, so she retired when she got married. She and her husband adopted two delightful children.
She went back to school and received a master's degree and later a Certificate of Advanced Graduate Study in School Psychology. She was an active member of the Massachusetts School Psychologists Association and The National Association of School Psychologists. She was named the Massachusetts School Psychologist of the Year and received a Lifetime Achievement Award because of her work as chairman of the Legislative Committee, which led to the licensure of School Psychologists in Massachusetts.
Sara-Fay is a very active person. She never says goodbye to her friends, and always says "until next time." She remained friends with many people from first grade throughout college and colleagues.
Her many hobbies include reading, knitting, bridge, canasta, and mahjong
