Dorenda Doyle

Dorenda is a LITERACY ADVOCATE—trying to improve reading and writing skills one book or school at a time! That’s why she writes an award-winning Children’s Book series using figurative language—THE KID & THE DOG! Her first best-selling book was a memoir encouraging forgiveness, but her 8 grandkids convinced her that children’s picture books were so much more FUN! She’s a retired educator of thirty years, having taught business and computers at the high school and college levels, writing curriculum for two State Departments of Education, and serving in administrative roles. (M.Ed., Secondary Education; B.S., Business Management). She was even a Zoo Docent (volunteer educator) for a few years at the Birmingham Zoo (Alabama). Since retirement, her zeal for education has been replaced with a passion for grandkids, animals, and travel. With three rescues of her own, she supports and advocates for animal rescue. She and her husband Jimmy travel as much as possible with the entire extended family of sixteen, including her 93-year-young mom-in-law.
