Author Biography

Margaret Michel Rivoire

I was born and raised in the bayou country of Louisiana, south of New Orleans. I was the oldest of eight children in a loving family. I was brought up in the Catholic Faith which is still very important to me and gives me boundaries for all that I do.
At age five, the start of WWII began to shape who I would become. Although I did not fully understand what was happening, the reaction of my parents and all those around me made me realize the world I knew was changing. I became curious and would constantly listen to conversations about the war and I took notice of all the ordinary things changing.

Dear Subscribers,

I want to welcome you to my author’s website. I am pleased that you have chosen to follow me.
I would like to get to know a little about you.
I am excited with the publication of my book, “Grandpa’s Earth Suit.” I would like to share a brief summary:

Young Dennis, only seven years old, had a very close relationship with Grandpa. Today God had called Grandpa to live with Him. Maria, his sister, only a few years older, told him that they were going to put Grandpa in the ground tomorrow. He was sobbing when Grandma found him. She hugged him and prayed that God would give her a story that would help him understand death.

She began her story:
This topic comes up in every family. I hope this will make it easier to explain as you share the book with a child.
I will tell you more about it in my next letter.
Sincerely,
Margaret Michel Rivoire
