About the Author:
Nick Terrones has been at Hilltop Children's Center in Seattle, Washington, since July 2006. In that time he has worked with three- to five-year-olds, and currently is in his twelfth year working with toddlers and their families in the Raindrop Room. He enjoys the outdoors very much (backpacking/hiking and snowboarding), and anything that allows him and his dog, Ghenga, to romp around. Playing the drums, ukulele, guitar, and bass also keep Nick grounded. Outside of Hilltop, Nick is an active leader in the World Forum Foundation's Working Group, Men in Early Childhood Education, which strives to promote gender balance in the education workforce.
