Welcome to the
Mari Baird Tetwiler
website!

I am happy to share with you my love of reading
and the launch of my debut children's book,
Betty and Her Red Wagon.

Betty and Her Red Wagon encourages the reader to learn, imagine, think creatively, and to believe in themselves.

Thank you for taking time to learn more about my book. Enjoy reading Betty and Her Red Wagon!

IF I CAN IMAGINE IT, I CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN!

Spunky, precocious, and imaginative, Betty and her cat, Anna,

begin an empowering journey with her trusty red wagon.

Betty is eager to quickly navigate the woodland trails,

where animals cross her path and then join her. As nature

slows her down, with zigzagging trails, movements, colors

and sounds she begins to notice everything around her.

With her new pace and surprising, transforming wagon,

Betty is inspired to believe in herself, knowing that with

her creativity, kind heart and determination, she can

become whatever and whomever she wants to be.

A creative investigation page at the end of the book gives

the reader an opportunity to learn about trailblazing women,

and to search for objects and symbols

within the book’s illustrations.
