Teresa R FunkeTeresa R. Funke writes for children and adults. Most of her books and short stories are based on real people and actual events, and many are set in World War II. She says, "I chose V for Victory for my third book in the Home-Front Heroes series becaue I wanted my readers to see that we all have amazing stories within our own families. All we have to do is ask! I was excited to share a bit of history in this book from my mom's Mexican-American family. The Home-Front Heroes series was created in part to celebrate the World War II contributions of children and adults of various races, creeds, and religions. We have all helped build this wonderful melting pot we call America. Kids too!" Teresa also enjoys teaching new writers as a popular presenter and writers' coach, but what she likes best is spending time with her husband and three children at their home in Colorado. She'd love it if you visited her website at www.teresafunke.com to submit your own family's stories from World War II or other time periods, or to invite Teresa to speak at your school.
