I am of mother of two grown children and still have a wacky, silly, and unconventional imagination. I wrote this story over ten years ago for my kids just for fun. I recently experienced great loss and very challenging times, and I remembered this story. When I read it, I felt happy and excited. It was like something clicked, and I was moved to look into the idea of getting it published. I started talking to my friends and family about it and received overwhelming encouragement to take the chance. I don’t know what I would do without my army of support. So here we are. I hope you enjoy getting to know these cute, brave, loving characters as much as I have enjoyed bringing them to life!
