Many of Gloria's books take place during the summer -- because she does a lot of her writing during the northern Michigan blizzards! Gloria has been telling stories for as long as she can remember. Before she could read or write, she used to dictate stories to her baby-sitter, who would type them out. Being an only child, many of Gloria's stories were about having a brother or sister.

Gloria once had a set of five wtching guinea pigs, all named after Detroit Tiger baseball players! \u003cbr\u003eLeslie Bowman was born in New York City, grew up in Connecticut, and graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design.
