Biographical Sketch

Gerry Breen Armstrong was born October 28, 1929, in Detroit, MI. In 1954 she married George Armstrong, an illustrator, whom she would collaborate with on both folk music performance and children's literature. Armstrong writes, "I'm not sure if I'm a singer who also writes or a storyteller who also sings." Her first writing was published in 1964, which is featured in this collection.
