About the Author

A music educator, Mary Crandell developed her passion for teaching, learning, and serving from her parents, who were also music educators. She grew up listening to her parents teach music lessons in their home, playing in community bands and traveling to dance halls to hear her dad play the saxophone. Unbeknownst to her at the time, these experiences set Mary on a course to discover a world full of musical adventures throughout her life. It’s no surprise that this led Mary to follow in her parents musical footsteps, becoming a music educator and band director. Much like its writer, Little Miss Mary sets out to reveal avenues for children to creatively explore their environment and find joy in discovering the arts. From crayons to watercolors, Elizabeth Huether has been refining her visual expression from an early age, continuing studies at Iowa State University and presently educating young artists. Elizabeth has a passion for helping others find their own artistic voice and enjoys sharing arts experiences with her two children as well as her middle school art students. Through illustrating Little Miss Mary, Elizabeth desires to share the benefits of a life-long exploration of the fine arts.
