Sheila Silverman Taube was born in Buffalo, New York. Snow and cold whisked her to sunnier climes at the age of 23. First to California, then to North Carolina and finally to Nevada where she makes her home with her husband of 55 years, Victor, her daughter Robyn, granddaughter Elizabeth in a family compound soon to be joined by another granddaughter Sarah, her husband Mitch, their two girls Shoshana and Hadassa. Another granddaughter Emily and her husband Jeremy and daughter Bria live nearby. Along with a small menagerie of creatures. Lucy a white Labradoodle, Frankie, a 90 pound African desert tortoise, chickens and a plethora of desert rabbits, lizards, snakes and thirsty birds, all who take shameless advantage of her generosity of spirit.

She’s the last of seven children who used her imagination and flair for poetry to write a memoir of her family called SEASONS.

A political activist, cabaret singer, professional fundraiser and practicing clinical therapist, she is also a devoted step-mother, grandmother and great grandmother. She has been a blossoming writer/poet in recent years. She began to dream this story as an homage to her dying Mother. It was to be a short picture book, but characters populated her dreams and asked to be written in so they were.
