Oh, my, how I loved this darn inchworm. (Perhaps this was the beginning of my fascination with insects?) I came across this photo while searching for pictures of me when my name was still Loree Ann.
Why was I looking for such pictures?
Because my blippety-blurb has just gone live on the TeachingBooks.Net Author Pronunciation Guide website. That’s right, when kids are online trying to find out how to pronounce Jon Scieszka, Jarrett J. Krosoczka, and Deborah Heiligman … they can now find, um, me. (This cracks me up.)
So, if you’ve always wondered how to pronounce my name, or if you’re wondering what happened to the “Ann” bit, or if you’d just like to giggle at my formal recording voice (do I really sound like that?), surf on over and give a listen!
