About the Author
GARY ADAMS received his Masters Degree from UCLA in 1964, and has written several childrens books, including “The Ladybug Story” and “So, Flat, So Deep, So Far”.
His initial interest in writing children’s stories began by telling his five daughters “bed-time stories” as they were growing up. From those stories, “The Little Clock Who Had No Hands” was born.
Gary Adams may be unique among most writers, as most of his 70 years were spent either playing baseball or coaching baseball. He was the captain of the UCLA baseball team which he played for from 1959 to 1962. Later, he became a college baseball coach for forty one years (thirty years as the Head Baseball Coach at UCLA). He retired in 2004 as the winningest coach in UCLA history with 1,172 wins. He coached forty-four major league players while at UCLA (second most in collegiate baseball history) and was inducted into the prestigious NCAA Baseball Hall of Fame in 2004.
