As a former elementary teacher, and even since the 2nd grade, I've always had a heart for learning and helping others reach their potential and their dreams. Currently, I am writing, illustrating, and publishing a 5-book series of early chapter books designed to BRIDGE THE GAP between picture books, and longer chapter books. Fun, animal adventures are written to demonstrate valuable friendship skills as well. Each book also has a helpful glossary defining more difficult words, and a "What If" discussion page about the character lesson with 4 questions about the story, and 4 more questions related to the reader's life. After this series is finished, I have several ideas for future books to add to it. In addition, I hope to be busy giving presentations to teachers, parents, librarians, and especially early elementary students. Look for the first 3 books 5-1-18, and books 4&5 11-1-18. The Bandana Buddies series will be available through my website, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and more.... Book 1 - Feebs to the Rescue Book 2 - Rascal's Trip Book 3 - Nibbler & Captain Make Peace Book 4 - Whoot'in Goes Outside! Book 5 - Kit's New Home
