These stories were written years ago some dating from 1990. They were individually planned as separate picture books for the elementary grades. Wherever children are protagonists they are uplifted and winners. Even though the parents buy the book it must be for the child because this is a learning opportunity to teach the child, a book that may be treasured for many years. I am still hoping that large children book publishers and illustrators find a story here that fits into their current publishing activities.
