Summer Burns-Allen

Have you ever imagined your family and you in a far away land of make believe to make your days more fun? Summer Burns-Allen fufilled this dream by writing “Imagine Africa”. Summer Burns-Allen, born August 8th, 1979 grew up in Massillon, Ohio most of her life. She learned the power of imagination at an early age and has always lived each day as it was an adventure that was all her own. Her mind carried images of hurt, pain, triumphs, and love. These images were inspired from her soul onto the pages of a love ballad for her family. She loves the wisdom that children possess and the psychology of a child and feels that it truly does make the world a better place. Summer currently lives in Canton, Ohio with her family and is earning her MBA in Business Administration at Malone University. Today she encourages her own children to enjoy their imaginations and follow their dreams no matter how impossible they may seem to grasp. About the illustrator Sandra Thouvenin is a resident of Massillon, Ohio. She is enrolled at Kent State University and is pursuing an MBA in art history. She works at the Massillon Museum
