Betty White Jenkins grew up on a farm in southeast Ohio. She was taught the value of hard work and responsibility at an early age. Her life-long dream of becoming a teacher was realized in 1968, and she spent 30 years in the classroom where reading daily to her students was a priority.

Experience the magic of springtime as it comes to life with flowers blooming, birds singing and many other signs that make spring aglow. The inspiration for this book was the result of the author's final exam for a Children's Literature class at Ohio University in the spring of 1966. At that time, the author's professor suggested that it was worthy of being published. The book was then put in a closet and read from time to time to younger family members. Fifty-two years later, "How Do We Know That Spring's Aglow" is a timeless theme that is enjoyed as much by readers today as it was when it was written in 1966.
