Trees Are Majestic: A Salute to Arbor Day (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781984572431)

Hyacinth J. Burgess-Gregory received her Diploma in Education and was a teacher for 10 years. She later worked in the private sector for many years while concurrently gaining her Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) degree from Florida International University, as well as her Master of Science (MSc) degree in Leadership from Nova Southeastern University in Florida. However, she never fully left her first love, the classroom. She continued sporadically as a temporary teacher and saw, first hand, the children's need for mental stimulation through reading. As a result, she was inspired to write children's books. She is not a stranger to authorship, because she has been writing poems since her high school years. She opines, "Writing is a wonderful, creative process that brings joy, continuously, as one relives the experience. It is like a fresh flower that never fades; instead, continues to add beauty and fragrance to the surrounding atmosphere. Writing is a gift that keeps on giving."
