Susie Slanina lives in Vancouver, Washington. After graduating from California State University, Los Angeles, she went to school in Ireland to study the Montessori approach to educating children. She worked 24 years at CSLA and retired at age 50 to spend more time with her dogs in a cabin in Big Bear.
After retirement she penned a poem about a spider. That poem became the catalyst for the Metro book series. She used to enjoy traveling, but discovered that hanging out with her dogs is better than seeing the wonders of the world.
Her Metro the Little Dog series of children’s books is about a lovable puppy named Metro. These stories were written to honor the real Metro and all the wonderful dogs who grace our lives. Many thanks to artist Paul Bunch for the exquisite illustrations.
