Author Information

"As the youngest of six and the product of two beautiful Italian immigrants, I enjoyed endless love, ate everything homemade (including the soup made from my father's never-ending loving vegetable garden), and overcame the scarcity of toys by inventing my own entertainment. My especially vivid imagination took me many places, and I recall how often I spent my days lying in the daisy fields transforming the clouds into fantastical worlds. At night, I would transcribe these ideas into a voluminous journal. It was much later in life when my youngest of three daughters listened to me recite my old writing, and offered to complete the last sentence with her own rhyme, that I realized I should transition my efforts into children's books. I am extremely excited and thankful to share to these completed works with you now; and, I trust their words will spark your imagination, too! Stella Jurgen is a gifted illustrator, painter, and cartoonist.
