Adaurie StemshornWith a Bachelor's degree in Kinesiology and a Master's in Exercise Science and Health Promotion, Adaurie Stemshorn understands the power of resilience, connection, and belonging. A former Division 1 soccer player, Adaurie brings the same passion and edication to her writing that she did to the field. Living on a 40-acre farm, she has experienced firsthand the extraordinary relationships that form between animals, inspiring her to publish the true story of Peawee the Peacock. She shares her home with her husband, their beloved pets, including three cats (Cappy, Bear, and Echo), their dog Moxie, and 35 chickens (all of whom have names).
