Description
Heidi Lepper Barrett is the Bibliokid Author of THE BUTTERFLY WITH THE TATTERED WINGS. Heidi was raised in Santa Barbara, California and moved to Iowa to complete her postdoctoral fellowship at The University of Iowa after earning a PhD in Personality and Social Psychology at the University of California in 1996. She and her husband Joe found their way to Des Moines where she has been an Adjunct Professor of Psychology at Drake University since 2000 and where their two sons were born. As a family, they moved to Moscow, Russia for three years in 2010 and then to Luxembourg City, Luxembourg for another three years.
For Heidi, her picture book is a many years journey and exploration into how we humans grow into being and gives credit to Jim Finley her beloved teacher in the Living School, a two year program she finished in July 2023 at the Center for Action and Contemplation in Albuquerque, New Mexico. This story was birthed from a place of deep love and appreciation for all of nature and Heidi’s connection with the sacred around her. She hopes it will find its way into your own heart.
