Growing up as the youngest of six kids-and the youngest of triplet girls-author Paula McAllister experienced a childhood full of adventure, love, and laughter. Her days were spent roaming the neighborhood, playing sports, riding bikes, hopping fences, and chasing after the family dogs. From the crack of dawn until the streetlights flickered on, she and her siblings created a world of their own, where imagination knew no bounds.
Paula and her siblings were always on the go, whether they were visiting friends, inventing new games, or simply enjoying the freedom of their backyard. Summertime was a particularly magical season, filled with endless outdoor escapades and memories that would last a lifetime.
The close‑knit community that Paula grew up in played a significant role in shaping her story. With everyone in the neighborhood looking out for one another, she felt a sense of belonging and safety that allowed her to dream big and chase after her passions. It was in this nurturing environment that she discovered her love for writing and photography, capturing the essence of her adventures and the beauty of the world around her.
In her book, Linus the Hen That Thought She Was a Dog, is a heartfelt true story from her childhood-one of the many unforgettable moments she shared with her siblings. Inspired by a real hen with an unusually bold personality, the story follows Linus, a feisty backyard hen who not only believed she was one of the family dogs but even chased cars along the fence with fearless enthusiasm. Through Linus's hilarious and heartwarming antics, Paula invites readers into the magical world of her childhood, where even a hen could become a loyal companion and every day held the promise of something extraordinary.
With a passion for storytelling and a heart full of memories, Paula is excited to see where her journey as an author takes her next. She hopes her readers will find joy, inspiration, and a touch of nostalgia in her tales-and that they, too, will be reminded of the magic that can be found in everyday moments.
