A snapshot of the 50 states. Includes each state's tree, flag, flower and bird, along with statistics and interesting bits of information about each state that will tempt the traveler to visit. Kittie has had the good fortune to travel extensively in the U.S. and internationally. She found people have a limited exposure to what is really the U.S. and decided to share a little of the information. She has been a Type 1 diabetic since 1951. That has never stopped her from traveling. Kittie was born and raised in Minnesota, and moved south in 1994. Her writing experience includes articles for college magazines in Thailand, in-house newspapers for Northwest Airlines and TECO Ocean Shipping. This is her first book format but watch for her name in future printed materials.
