Rhonda K. Gatlin is a retired elementary school teacher who taught for thirty-nine years and has written her first children’s book. She has a delightful story to share based on experiences from her childhood growing up in the South. Gatlin was born in Tampa, Florida, in 1953 and moved throughout several southern states, finally settling in Montgomery, Alabama, where she attended high school. She received her bachelor of science in education from Auburn University of Montgomery, Alabama. She later earned her master’s of education degree from Lesley College in Las Vegas, Nevada. She moved to Boulder City, Nevada, in 1989, where she resides with her husband and her miniature poodle, Tu-Tu. Mrs. Gatlin taught for twenty-five years at Andrew J. Mitchell Elementary School located in Boulder City. She received the American Graduate Champion Award in 2016 from the Las Vegas Public Broadcasting System (PBS) for her active role in making a difference in the lives of students. She hopes to continue to enrich the lives of children and spark an interest in reading and writing through Granny’s Cobbler. This book is an excellent resource to use in the classroom for use on the one-hundredth day of school, teaching groups of twenty-five to make one hundred or convert and show four quarters equal a dollar.
