Corinne Litzenberg always has been passionate about nature, especially the Chesapeake Bay and Mid-Atlantic coastal beaches. She taught elementary school for thirty-two years in the Diocese of Wilmington, Delaware, and in Cecil County

Public Schools in Maryland. With a doctorate in environmental education from Wilmington University, Corinne led Elk Neck Elementary’s staff and community to become the first self-sustained Maryland Green School in her school district with environmental projects integrated into the curriculum in kindergarten through fifth grade. Guided by their teachers, students wrote Chesapeake Bay grants for grade level projects and parents and the community were actively involved in the project, constructing  bluebird houses, bird gardens, and a nature trail.

Corinne’s S is for Sea Glass A to Z poem integrates many disciplines such as science, social studies, math, and language arts, which makes learning more meaningful to students. She created all of the sea glass art in this book and has taught nautical art form to children and educators, using sea glass and other found objects. 

She hopes readers of all ages will be reminded to be active citizens in protecting the environment as well as in conservation of resources, which includes recycling glass, plastics, and other materials found on our beaches for the benefit of future generations.

Sea glass can be found on many coastal beaches. Corinne’s favorite beach- combing spots include Turkey Point, Maryland; Calvert Cliffs, Maryland; Cape May Point, New Jersey; Chincoteague Island, Virginia; and Cape Henlopen State Park, Delaware.
