## Resource

Award-winning picture book author and self-proclaimed “National Park Gramma” living on a cattle ranch in Central California. With nearly 30 books (including the beloved Mouse Traveler series that takes kids on adventures to America’s National Parks), Tricia weaves real facts into fun, heartwarming stories. After a 20+ year hiatus and personal challenges, she returned to her passion in her 80s — independently publishing under Write ‘em Cowgirl Publishing and even crowdfunding new titles. A former archaeology student, rancher, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, Tricia brings warmth, wisdom, and an uplifting message about using stories to spark curiosity, conservation, and lasting family values in the next generation. https://triciagardella.com/ 📌 Connect with I Am Refocused Radio: 📺 YouTube: @RefocusedNetwork 📸 Instagram: @iamrefocusedradio 📘 Facebook: @iamrefocusedradio 🌐 Website: https://www.iamrefocusedradio.com #RefocusedNetwork #Leadership #Entrepreneurship Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/i-am-refocused-radio--2671113/support .
