In author Wanda A. Landrey’s humorous take on raising children, she is able to relay to well-meaning parents that mistakes can and will be made, but the important thing to remember is that you learn from them.

About the Author

Although neither a child psychiatrist nor psychologist, Wanda A. Landrey is the mother of three grown children, nine grandchildren, and a “shirt-giving” expert. Through the years she has taught her husband to become one also. Both were last seen walking down the street naked.

On a more serious note, Landrey is the author of six books of East Texas history: Outlaws in the Big Thicket; Boardin’ in the Thicket: Reminiscences and Recipes of Early Big Thicket Boarding Houses; The Historic Belle Jim Hotel of Jasper, TX; Betting, Booze and Brothels: Vice Corruption; Justice in Jefferson County, Texas from Spindletop to the 1960s; and two children’s books: Lost in the Big Thicket and The Ghosts of Spindletop Hill.

Landrey and her husband reside in Kingwood, Texas.
