JoAnne Hebert - Children's book
JoAnne graduated from the University of Washington with a Master of Speech Pathology and Audiology. She is a practicing Speech and Language Pathologist and has worked in the public schools and her private practice for over 30 years. JoAnne’s grandfather was a country veterinarian. Her mother accompanied him on rural barn calls gaining a wealth of experiences and knowledge about animals. She passed her love of furry creatures on to her own seven children who all developed a love and respect for animals. Growing up in Washington State, JoAnne’s backyard was like a barnyard filled with dogs, rabbits, ducks, geese, chickens and even a horse. Family dogs were varied-spaniels, retrievers, hounds and mutts many rescued from local humane shelters. Joanne lives on Bainbridge Island, across Puget Sound from Seattle, with her husband, Murray and dog Finley.
