B. E. Exon is a former award-winning elementary school teacher with the Wallingford-Swarthmore School District, Wallingford, PA. She has also taught children internationally, from Ubud, Bali, Indonesia, to Ballycastle, County Mayo, Ireland. It was inspiring for "Mrs. X" (as kids like to call her) to discover that children around the world speak a "universal language of love and joy," through play, song, and shared stories. Over the years, B. E. Exon has kept a journal of her own fanciful stories and now, in life's "next chapter," she is excited to share these tales with children of all ages, hoping to add to the JOY! Moxie and the Kite-Bite'n Ash is her first published picture book.
