Bowman, Donna Janell

DONNA JANELL BOWMAN first heard about Doc and Jim Key in 2005. She didn't believe that a horse could learn to read, so she began doing her own research and was inspired to tell Doc and Jim s story for young readers. Bowman grew up on a horse ranch and still loves to visit her childhood horses on her mother s ranch. Bowman lives in Texas with her husband, their twosons, and their rescue animals, Sparky and Mittens. This is her first picture book.
