About Carole Gerber
Thank you for visiting my site! I was born, raised and educated in Ohio. In August 2019, I became a full-time resident of Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, a suburb of Charleston. I live just a few miles from my
younger daughter, Jess; her husband, Ben, and their young children. My older daughter, Paige, along with her husband Tom, live in San Francisco with children Sara, a student at UCLA Law School, Tyler, a student at the University of Colorado, and Isabella, a recent graduate of Ole Miss. I am the author of nearly two dozen picture books, early readers, and chapter books and about 100 elementary science and reading texts.
Relative to the rest of the world, my family and I have led privileged lives. We have never gone without food, clothing, housing or education. That’s why, for many years, I have sponsored children through World Vision, a Christian humanitarian organization dedicated to working with children of all faiths in more than 100 developing countries. I keep their photos posted to remind me of my blessings and my responsibilities. I am also a long-time supporter of Feed My Starving Children, a non-profit organization based in Minnesota that coordinates the packaging and distribution of food to hungry children around the world.
Like most writers, I am also a voracious reader. I especially enjoy historical fiction and biographies. Ihave practiced yoga for 35 years with more enthusiasm than skill. I like doing vinyasas and can hold a steady downward-facing dog, but will never attempt a head stand. I also enjoy gardening, biking, brisk walking, and traveling.
