Janine Easton is a retired History and English teacher with a Master’s in Gifted Education. Her writing draws on a lifelong love of nature—shaped by growing up near the beach, on an island, and on a farm. Janine’s belief in the healing effects the natural world has on children is a central theme in her work. A mother of two and "Nanna" to several scrumptious grandchildren, she lives with her husband on the lands of the Wadawurrung people, Australia.
