ABOUT ROB SANDERS

• Rob
  Sanders is a writer who teaches, and a teacher who writes. A native of
  Springfield, Missouri, he has lived in Texas, Alabama, and Tennessee. After
  earning a B.S. in Elementary Education and a Master’s Degree in Religious
  Education, Rob worked for fifteen years in children’s religious educational
  publishing as a writer, educational consultant, trainer, editor, editorial
  group manager, and product developer.

  In 2006, Rob moved to Florida and began
  working as an elementary school teacher. Soon he was serving as a district
  writing trainer and resource teacher. These days you’ll find him teaching fourth
  graders about books and words, and reading and writing with them at Mintz
  Elementary School in Brandon, Florida.

  Working daily with children inspired Rob
  to pursue his own writing career. He is the author of COWBOY CHRISTMAS, OUTER
  SPACE BEDTIME RACE (Crystal Kite Award), RUBY ROSE—OFF TO SCHOOL SHE GOES, RUBY
  ROSE—BIG BRAVOS, and RODZILLA (Florida Gold Medal for Younger Children’s
