Donna Adderhold believes that every child deserves to feel safe, seen, and respected. A retired school teacher with a Master’s Degree in Education and over 20 years of experience working with children, she has a heart for helping young readers navigate big emotions and social challenges. Donna draws inspiration from real-life classroom dynamics and the simple but powerful truth that small acts of compassion can change everything. She writes stories that encourage kindness, courage, and speaking up. Tommy, Liz, and the Dinosaur Bully is her latest work, born from a desire to give children the words and confidence to stand up for themselves and others. Donna resides in Alabama with her husband of 27 years, along with their three dogs and a cat. Her hobbies include reading, fishing, and cross-stitching, but her favorite activity is hosting family dinners with their three children, their spouses, and five grandchildren.
