The guest speaker at our meeting was Jeanne ARCHAMBAULT, who is an author of children's books.
Originally from Coventry, she now lives in Jamestown and is married to Navy Captain Guy ARCHAMBAULT, Retired.
The couple are parents of four daughters and have six grandchildren.
Over the years Jeanne has written poems and essays, but her dream has always been to write children's books.
She is a graduate of the Institute of Children's Literature and has published two books, the most recent of which is The Leaping Grasshpper.
It's a colorful hardcover book with large illustrations that are sure to capture the imagination of the very young.
It's a story that a child quickly learns to memorize and adopt as a favorite. It was selected as a Mom's Choice Award finalist at the Just For Mom Foundation.
