- Roxane B. Salonen
Seeds, Sun and Water of a Writer
In second grade, Roxane
handed her teacher a handmade "book" bound by staples. After quietly
reading it, Miss Larsen said, "You should write books someday." Some
30 years later, the planting of those seeds has taken root.
The first of Roxane's books to be published, P is for Peace Garden: A North Dakota Alphabet (Sleeping Bear Press), takes readers on a rhyming alphabet tour of North Dakota, where
Roxane and her family currently reside.
Her second book, First Salmon (Boyds Mills Press), introduces Charlie, a
young boy who comes to accept the loss of his uncle through experiencing his
tribe's annual salmon-honoring ceremony, and remembering the special times they
had shared.
