Her children’s books celebrate the changing seasons and woodland landscapes, including How Fiddleheads Got Their Name, ABC Forest Animals, Winter in the Forest, and Spring in the Forest. Through gentle storytelling and nature-based themes, she invites families to slow down and rediscover the beauty found in everyday moments.
In TheVoice of Getchell, Richford draws from her mother’s personal notes and memories of life in a small Maine village known locally as “In Behind the Mountain.” Blending memoir and regional storytelling, the book preserves real accounts and community history shaped by the forests and the people who lived among them. She lives in Maine, where the woods, wildlife, and seasonal rhythms continue to inspire her writing. |
