Snarly Sally and Tangles learn their letters. In Snarly Sally's garden, the ABCs are fun. There are birthday parties and balloons and space to jump and run!In this wonderful ABC book featuring Snarly Sally and her puppy Tangles, kids explore a bright garden of ABC's that come alive with Barbara Ward's full-colour original art and kid-appealing rhymes. Snarly Sally makes it an adventure filled with surprises in a read-to-me book for parents, teachers, and day-care providers of young children.
I was lucky to have grown up in the country where every day was an adventure. There was a creek full of suckers; pastures full of cows and fields full of hay and corn. Best of all there was a chicken coop which had been gutted and then filled with the remains of a one-room schoolhouse. This included desks, chalkboards, and boxes of books. My cousins and I spent hours in that old coop-playing, pretending, reading books-and in my case-writng. My favorite authors remain Laura Ingalls Wilder and Louisa May Alcott.
My heartwarming Christmas story for adults entitled, "The Reindeer Keeper" was released October, 2010. It continues to receive great reviews from readers and reviewers and was honored as a "Mom's Choice Awards Gold Recipient in Adult Fiction" in August, 2011.
I've been published in Highlights For Children, McCall's, Ladies' Home Journal, and the Chicken Soup for the Soul book entitled, "Christmas Magic" (10/11). In March, 2012, my short story, "A Brown Boy of Our Own", will be included in the Chicken Soup for the Soul book, "Family Caregivers." My story, "Over Coffee" was published as an eKindle book, 12/10 and my short story, "Sleigh Bells Ring Again" was included in the Christmas ekindle book collection, "Christmas Warmth."
I've written/illustrated three children's picture books centered around my original character, Snarly Sally.
