Barbara Frandsen is a former educator who taught almost every age from kindergarten children with multiple disabilities through pre-service teachers at a small urban university. While teaching at the university, Barbara wrote several books to complement the classes she taught. Even today, Barbara views herself as a special education teacher, an advocate for children everywhere, and now a grandmother and great-grandmother. Barbara believes each person integrates individual uniqueness with a connection to nature and to all other humans. Indeed, love for all children may be the best hope we have in our search for personal and world peace. Thus, her driving mission seeks to ""TRANSFORM THE WORLD, ONE CHILD AT A TIME.""
