Millie

About the Book

With her daisy flower standing tall and straight, Millie smiled, feeling proud and great. Perched up high on Sarah’s hair, Millie could look around everywhere. Then Sarah removed Millie from her head, And placed her on the ground instead. As the sun beams warmed Millie to the core, She closed her eyes and started to snore. The day grew later than Millie realized. Before she knew it, time flew by. A startled Millie opened her eyes, And found to her shocked surprise, Momma and Sarah were walking away. “Oh dear! Oh dear!” Was all Millie could say. WAIT!! WAIT!!

About the Author

Born in Madison, Maine, I have lived in Maine all of my life. In my early years, I was tutored under the renowned Bangor artist, Frank Nanatonis. After graduating from Winterport High School, I studied by correspondence with the Minneapolis School of Fine Art. I am currently studying with Maine artists, Celene Farris of Morrill and Barbara Applegate of Bristol Mills. While my three sons were growing up, I put my aspirations on hold. I painted in my spare time and also became interested in writing children's stories. I am published in the New York Times Bestseller Book, "Chicken Soup for a Kid's Soul". You may have seen me at my book signings or on my television interviews. I am a member of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators; The Maine Highlands Guild; Maine Made Products; The Maine Art Commission and The Bangor Art Society.
