Won by One

About the Book

“Won by One” is a fun and educational book. Everett Todd Adams continues to teach elementary school children about the English language, this time focusing on homophones. Tee Tee and Ceddy Keddy John are colorfully illustrated on each page, while their dialogue expands children’s vocabulary and comprehension of homophones.

About the Author

EVERETT TODD ADAMS was born and reared in Baltimore, Maryland. He received his early education in the Baltimore County Public Schools before earning his Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from the historic Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia. This led to a career as an Information Technology consultant, which provided him the opportunity to travel to countries like Germany and France. In 2005, Everett was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS). The diagnosis may have ended his career as a consultant, but he was able to focus on his true passion—writing. He published a book of original poetry in 1997, Semantics of a Dark Son. The Tricky ‘S’ is his fi rst children’s book, and he plans to write more about Ceddy Keddy John and Tee Tee—characters he has imagined since his childhood. Everett resides in Baltimore County and is married to a high school teacher.
