About Bonnie J. Kilburn, Jr.
The Upper Peninsula of Michigan provides a beautiful setting for a Children's Book Author, Public Speaker, and Writer. It is said that one cannot go home again, but Bonnie has returned to the peaceful backdrop of the Upper Peninsula's Two Hearted and Tahquamenon Rivers, Lake Superior, and the forests which boast of maple, beech, and pine trees interwoven with a multitude of creatures. It is here that this Children's Book Author finds the inspiration for her writings and public speaking.
"If my writings touch a reader, then I have succeeded!" | |
Education
She completed her Bachelor of Science Degree at Northern Michigan University in Marquette, Michigan. Michigan State University awarded her a Master of Arts in Communication.
"Thanks for the book. I like it a lot. I definitely liked the poems. I already read it. It is a great book."
—Love, Samantha
