First time author creates an enlightening and unique style to engage children to read aloud.  The books are in several schools to improve student achievement. Being a  studio-set teacher for the movie industry,  inspired me to write for children. The characters I make-up and write about are similar to the children and people I meet daily.Maybe I will meet you one day ,and you too will become one of my characters.
