Waiting to Forget
Sheila Kelly Welch writes and illustrates for children of all ages. Her story "The Holding-On Night," published in Cricket, won the International Reading Association's Short Story Award. Her most popular books are Little Prince Know-It-All and A Horse for All Seasons. She and her husband live in Illinois, where they raised five sons and two daughters. Four of the children were adopted when they were of school age. Although she has two degrees from Temple University, Sheila has learned more from her children than from any college course.
