Denise K. Cook packed a suitcase full of costumes instead of the usual curriculum when she taught Conversational English to children overseas. As a grandmother now, she still enjoys the energy, desire, and imagination that children employ to learn new things. Today, she uses her degrees in language and education to teach ESL, to write for children, and to correct her grandchildren’s grammar. Denise and her husband sponsor children through a program that helps release children around the world from poverty so that they, too, can grow, learn, imagine, and experience new wonders.
