About the Author
Linda Hillier Smith is a first-grade teacher and mother of three children and grandmother of two boys. In addition to her family, her interests include gardening, cooking, birding, and traveling. Linda is a Winthrop, Maine, native and the youngest in a family of seven children. A University of Maine graduate with a degree in nutrition, she was a stay-at-home mom when her children were young. While substitute teaching when her children were in elementary school, she returned to the University of Maine at Farmington to earn a teaching degree. For the past 17 years, Linda has taught grades K-3 at Mount Vernon Elementary School, where first graders have a very special place in her heart. She says her current challenges--in addition to writing the Travelin Maine (rs) blog--are learning bird calls and identifying warblers in the fall.
