Rowan’s favorite genre is fantasy. “The Land of Stories” is a series that she would highly recommend to everyone. When not at school, Rowan plays with her dog and bunny while listening to Pink Fluffy Unicorns Dancing on Rainbows; she also shoots her bow and arrow (but not toward the bunny).

Rowan lives with her mom, Corey, and her dad, Bob. She says that she is a hard worker and interested in her classes.
