Early literacy and child development has been a passion for Eileen Ziesler since her children were babies. As a retired early education teacher, Eileen now concentrates on writing for young children and writing about parenting in a weekly newspaper column, “Bringing up Baby.”

Eileen has produced a collection of songs and plays called, “Twinkletime.” Together with artist Janelle Thompson, she is producing a children’s picture book called TOADS.

In addition to the writing for and about children, Eileen writes poetry and book reviews. She edits the newsletter for the Autism Society of Wisconsin.
