The most delightful surprise contained within the pages of this book is not the story, although it is a treat to enjoy. It is the story of how the illustrations came to be created by an 11 year old student . Author Cheryl McNeil Fisher met Angel at a career day that her class attended and learned that Angel had a dream of illustrating a book. Angel folloed up with a call, showing that she has a great deal of determination to make her dream come true. Read more inside.
Helping people achieve their dreams is a special calling for Cheryl, who understands that nothing can stop us from doing the things we truly want to do, no matter the obstacles we may encounter. Cheryl welcomes ideas and young co-writers and collaborators.
