My name is Bob Vernon. I’m a writer and world traveler who frequently makes up clever rhymes to amuse my grandchildren and embarrass my grown kids.

Jan, my lovely and remarkably tolerant wife, and I have lived around the United States and even spent nearly five memorable years in the Netherlands.

Through our journeys, we’ve seen and experienced remarkable things. And whenever possible, we’ve tried to include our children and grandchildren in the adventures. In the process, our family has learned about and grown to appreciate many different cultures and the warm, generous people we’ve met along the way. It is our hope that we’ve instilled that sense of adventure and exploration in future generations of our family.

For us, this life has truly been a gift. It’s my desire to share that gift through my books, such as An Iguana Named Lana and Huffin the Puffin, as well as future titles.

I invite you to come along and explore the world, if only in your imagination.
