Hello! I'm Nicole - the face behind this creation! I'm a homeschooling mom to three young boys ages 8-13. I have a wonderful spouse and he works away from home for a couple of weeks at a time. Things stay pretty busy here and you can almost always find me delighting in a cup of coffee in one of my many favorite mugs.

 Before starting WFTW, I worked a regular job and decided to take a leap and quit to pursue a dream career in art. I took on drawing portraits full time... until WFTW was formed! This creation came from my combined passion as an artist and my passion for homeschooling my kids. I wanted to use my talent to enhance the learning experience of children and introduce them to the wonderful wildlife in our world. I didn't find anything else like this that taught about animals in this way, and I knew I wanted to create an experience that would help kids learn and foster a love for art. Not to mention the excitement children have when they get their very own letters in the mail! My kids absolutely love using these letters to learn all about various animals, and I hope yours will too!

The Process

I spend a lot of time researching about each animal and their habitat.  I also gather some neat facts about each location the letter is from. After gathering my research and thoughts, I plan out the story of each letter and begin writing. The text is all handwritten using pen and paper.
