APPLESEEDS:
A Boy Named Johnny Chapman

Melissa M. Cybulski lives in Western Massachusetts with her husband, two children, and two pugs. She loves learning and writing about history, especially the lives of women and children in early New England. Even as a child, historical fiction and biographies of people who lived long ago lined the bookcase in her room. This book about Johnny Chapman, who would one day be known as Johnny Appleseed, grew out of her work with the Longmeadow Historical Society. When not researching and writing, she works as a guide at the Emily Dickinson Museum in Amherst, Massachusetts.
