About Karen & Ana Liz

Karen Comer – Author

Ingredients – Superpower – Weakness

When Karen was 6 years old, she loved to catch insects and observe them in her bug-catcher. As she got older, she would catch crayfish and frogs too.
In 3rd grade, Karen read the book Charlotte’s Web. It inspired her to be an author one day.
In 1998 Karen had the idea of writing a book for children with the main character being a bumblebee. Karen didn’t have the time to write the book in 1998. But, she did write her ideas down in a little notebook and saved it.
Karen taught the Wonders of Wildlife program to elementary school students. The program focused on animals, their shrinking habitat and what children could do to help.
Many years passed by. One day, someone believed Karen’s writing was good, and told her so. Then Karen believed it too! Now she’s an author!

Karen's Superpower: Positivity
Being positive makes Karen happy. It also allows her to see the best

in people and situations.

Karen's Weakness: Big Projects
A big project can overwhelm Karen and freeze her in her tracks.

Karen has learned to break it down into baby steps.

If she comes to a step that she doesn’t know, Karen will ask someone

for help – or google it. And voila – mission accomplished!
