Simon Says Books

Teresa Butler was born June 6, 1966. She grew up “in the center of Connecticut” in the small city of Waterbury.  Follow my Blog.  

Teresa has always loved to read and tell stories, “I remember my first childhood chapter book Charlotte’s Web, I read it from cover to cover and then read it again.”  As a child, she would write short stories and poetry as a hobby.  It never dawned on Teresa that she could become a published children’s book author. Teresa joined the Army, started a family and attended school part-time.  She eventually earned her Bachelor’s degree from the Eastern Connecticut State University and went on to take courses towards a Master’s Degree in Organizational Management.

She describes herself as a shy person who loves to relax at home in the backyard with her dog Milo, read a book and play with her MacBook.  Email Me

Teresa has written many short stories and children’s books but has never published. When asked why she has now chosen to publish, she stated: “I decided I needed to do something, children have lost their way.  Manners are something people my age look back at and ask remember when. I want my granddaughter to grow up knowing please, thank you, excuse me etc. is not foreign, but something you must know and practice in everyday life. I want to make my books a tool for children, parents and teachers to have an open dialog and communicate about why manners and proper etiquette are important.”  Free Down Load of "Share"
