Laurel Dee Gugler was born in rural Kansas.
Laurel Dee Gugler spent her childhood on a farm in rural Kansas. She helped to milk cows and look after the animals.
A little Gugler attended the small one-teacher school which library had a lack of books. However, an avid reader of children’s books, Gugler was provided by with the books teachers brought from a bigger city’s public library.
After leaving the local school, Laurel Dee Gugler was trained as a teacher in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.
Laurel Dee Gugler first started to write her own stories and poems for children in the early 1980s, and eventually published her first book, ‘Mashed Potato Mountain’, in 1988. The main character of it, a young Jamie sits at the dinner table following a favorite pastime of many children: fashioning monstrous sculptures out of dinner. What begins as a small lump of mashed potatoes, slowly transforms into a towering mountain, complete with broccoli trees and a river of gravy. ‘Casey's Carousel’ saw the print the next year.
In ‘Little Wynne's Giggly Things’ published in 1995, Gugler again explores the endless potential of a child’s imagination. These debut editions have been followed by a number of other storytelling books.
In addition to her writing activity, Laurel Dee Gugler has served as a teacher and education coordinator at Hamilton Children’s Museum, as a volunteer teacher of English in India, and a volunteer with Canadian Crossroads International. The author has coordinated a multicultural storytelling group at SHAIR International Resource Centre in Hamilton, Ontario, and worked as an author in the Artist-in-the-Classroom program of the Hamilton-Wentworth Separate School Board.
Nowadays, Gugler owns a firm entitled ‘Whimsical Words’, and organizes multimedia storytelling presentations and literacy events for children and their parents in schools, libraries, and other institutions.

Quotations:
"Perhaps a lack of books during my earliest years is a reason I enjoy reading and writing them now."
"When I was a child, it seemed many adults didn’t feel artistic things were important. That is what inspired... 'Little Wynne’s Giggly Thing'."
