Emily Sandall grew up in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and just received an elementary education degree at the University of Montana. One of Sandall's greatest passions is issues concerning street and working children, and she hopes to use literature as a means to communicate the connection between the lives of the children and choices of comfort we make here in the United States. Sandall loves to write, explore the outdoors, run, dance, and work towards a more just and sustainable world. She wrote this poem in August, while working at three separate organic farms in Dixon, a small town in Northwest Montana.
She was 25 years old
