Shondra M. Quarles is a teacher and children's book author. Ms. Quarles' students inspired her to write and self publish her first e-book “Kindergartner Wisdom: The Best Advice I Ever Got Came from Kindergartners” in 2014. Shondra later went on to self-publish her first paperback book, “The Teacher Who Didn't Want to Go to School.” This book earned her a prestigious award from the National Celebrity Educators for authoring a book about teachers. It was also a children's book finalist for the 2017 Indie Author Legacy Awards. “The Teacher Who Didn't Want to Go to School” is about a teacher named Ms. Confetti. Ms. Confetti does not want to go to school on the first day. What could she be so worried about?

Shondra went on to co-author a book titled “Trees.” Trees teaches children that trees are living things just like us. Her latest e-book is titled “Black Lives Matter: A Picture Book for Kids.” This book was written to empower children so that they know that they matter regardless of how they look, or where they come from. Her goal with this project is to help people understand that there is unity in the midst of diversity. Ms. Quarles' picture books are available on Amazon
