Reading to grandkids is one of June's favorite things to do. That, and telling lively stories to make them smile. And since her grandkids have an affinity for gnomes, a story was born. June lives with her husband, Del, in Wenatchee, Washington, where she claims the "best fruit grows." She feels blessed to have four kids and ten grandkids... so far!
June Vanderhoff is also the grandmother of Eli, a boy who happened to be born with Down syndrome and the superpower of inclusion. Inspired by his love, thousands of community members and hundreds of community partners have come together to create an accessible, nature-based park where everyone belongs--Pathways Park.
