Always curious, T.B. Hickson has explored many places, jobs, and ideas—as an English teacher in a U.S. public school, an everything teacher in a one-room South American tribal school, a social worker in the shadow of Florida’s spaceport, a writer and editor for a large mid-Atlantic non-profit, and a tractor driver and tour guide on a Maryland organic farm. The list could go on.

    Hickson now pursues several new and long-time passions, one of which is growing familiar berries and exotic fruit trees in the backyard. Another is enjoying the birds, bees, and nature that frequent that yard.

   However, Hickson’s greatest passion is writing books to inspire in others the curiosity of the world, the love of nature, and the passion for learning that has filled her own life.
