Martha Harding

Martha Harding is a writer, musician, and educator widely known for her engaging presentations for both youth and adults. Adopted as a child, she deeply understands the importance of belonging and believes this story of love, acceptance, and incluion will resonate with adopted children and families of all kinds.

Now retired, Marty and her husband and coauthor, Gary Noren, volunteer with nonprofit groups dedicated to conservation, historic preservation, and the arts in the Saint Croix River watershed. Whether at home or on the road, they are always ready to explore the natural world--by foot, bike, canoe, or skis--Marty with her binoculars and Gary with his camera in hand. They are honored to have witnessed the extraordinary and heartwarming story of Fam unfold over more than three years.
