About the Author
Epps, Heather: - Heather Epps is a graduate of Creighton University, where she received her Doctor of Pharmacy degree. She comes from a family of librarians and journalists, so despite her science-based education, writing and reading has always been in her blood. Heather currently resides in the Kansas City area with her husband and two children, one of whom has multiple life-threatening food allergies. Her background in pharmacy and a desire to explain to her child how his medication works in kid-friendly terms, inspired her to develop the Pharm Friends children's book series. When Heather is not writing or illustrating, she teaches continuing education classes on pharmacy-related topics, and serves in the health and wellness ministry for her church.
