She wrote “The Friendly Bus Song” to remind her students about the importance of being kind to others and sang it to them often.
Mrs. Bee Friendly now enjoys retirement with her husband in the Arizona sunshine. She stays in contact with children by volunteering at the elementary schools of Sahuarita.
Illustrator Mike LaFond found his God-given artistic talent when taking art classes in high school. He pursued a graphic design career but went back to his greater joy of illustrating later in life. Sue’s multicultural characters in the book are a perfect fit for his cartoon/illustrative style of drawing. He looks forward to working with Sue on the remaining episodes in the series. Mike lives in the Seattle area with his wife, Mary, and their two lively Pomeranians, Happy and Onyx.view less
