Audrey Serowchak grew up in the country and loved animals of all sorts. She was particularly fascinated by frogs and toads. Audrey always liked to draw, and when she grew up she worked first at McClellan Air Force Base as an Illustrator, then at Alameda Naval Air Base as a Technical Illustrator. In her spare time, Audrey enjoyed cartooning, portraits and even designed her own note paper. At age 79, she wrote Toby's Big Adventure.
