Thanks to Tommie, my dream came to life! She walked me through the, sometimes confusing, process of publishing my book, Petey and Murray Go For A Swim. I couldn't have done it with her unwavering guidance and support!

I've never felt like I could ever publish a book until I was guided to Mrs. Tommie. Ally-Gator Book Bites is a great environment for authors, illustrators and editors to get started on their dreams. I couldn't have asked for a better teacher, guide and friends. Thank you Ally-Gator Book Bites!!

Given the demand for her work, I never expected Michelle to agree to illustrate Why Am I Me?, and her illustrations even surpassed my expectations. Still, how would the book come together? Thanks to Michelle, seamlessly and brilliantly!
