I am Annette Draughn. I am a wife, mother, and grandmother. I taught first and kindergarten for almost 30 years before retirement. I always wanted to become an author. I told and retold my stories throughout my career. I started writing as soon as I retired. I write books that empower children. My stories are filled with heart, imagination, and gentle lifelessons.
