Writing and Photography by Tanya Estes

I spent most of my career as a librarian and bookseller to support my own book buying habits. Now I delight in watching my son's enchantment from stories each time I hear him say "Fee Fi Fo Fum" as he's climbing a tree. You can find our little family hiking through the woods of central Texas looking for monsters, gruffalos or wild things.
