Biography:

Born to Henry and Catherine L. (Heasley) LeGrand Jr. I was named Henry J. LeGrand lll -- but Hank is what I am mostly known by. I grew up out in the country along with six sisters and two brothers. Stories were a big part of my life growing-up and--with that many siblings--there was never a shortage of imaginative-storytelling, book readings, or just simply being an avid listener. Everyday was a wonderful learning experience with my family, and an experience that will stay in my head and heart forever. I attended St. Mary's Elementary School in Herman, Pa., then went on to the local high school. I enlisted in the military in 1969, and was honorably discharged in 1971 from the United States Army's infantry division. I'm a Vietnam Veteran and was awarded two Bronze Stars.

I’ve always had room in my head for daydreaming--actually a lot of room. I enjoy seeing my thought take form on paper, and I get a great deal of satisfaction inventing all the different characters--along with the scenes--for my books. But the best part of writing a story,to me,is working with the illustrator, and watching in amazement as the characters (in my children's stories) begin to emerge, when  blended into the story.

            Interests: I like camping, inventing, drawing and, especially, writing fiction stories for children and young adults. I also enjoy working around my home--which keeps me more than occupied.
