"Karen A. Boxell is a retired high school teacher whose lifelong love of language and storytelling has taken her across the globe. Having lived in three foreign countries and taught English in two of them, she brings a rich tapestry of cultural experience to her writing. Now settled in a charming old New England home, Karen shares her days with her husband and their beloved orange tabby, Buster, the inspiration behind this delightful tale.Their home is more than just a cozy retreat; it's a haven for a lively cast of wild visitors, including squirrels, skunks, raccoons, opossums, chipmunks, rabbits, crows, and a chorus of local birds. Karen and her family cherish these daily encounters with nature, which infuse her stories with warmth, humor, and a deep appreciation for the animal world. Buster Brown's Neighborhood is a heartwarming celebration of these connections, told through the eyes of a curious cat and the critters who share his world."
