As a passionate teacher and now an author of children's books, I want kiddos to read and reread books that are exciting. Equally important, I want my books to provide positive examples of how children can learn to be comfortable around friends and classmates who have disabilities.
Hi there, thank you for visiting my website and home to Jordie and Butch. Here is a small part of the history of Jordie and Butch.
The idea for the Jordie and Butch series has been comfortably at home in my mind for many years. Early on when I met Butch, a hearing impaired Boxer, I came to realize that most people are unsure how to act around anyone, people or dogs, who have a disability.
This uncomfortableness was very apparent in my own classrooms. During the 30 years of teaching, I have had the opportunity to work with and teach children with disabilities. Oh, how I learned so much.
What better way of introducing young children to the world of disabled people than through fun-loving dogs. The series, The Adventures of Jordie and Butch, accomplishes just that. This multi-booked children's series helps young children to become comfortable and understand others who have disabilities.
Each book in the series highlights the diversity of disabilities young children may experience with fellow classmates or friends. From Butch being deaf to Bruce living with asthma, children will learn that people (dogs) with disabilities are not much different than themselves.
I am a passionate and dedicated writer who loves to create books that are both informative and engaging. I believe that good writing can change the world, and I strive to make a positive impact through my work.
I pride myself on being flexible and reliable. Whether you need one copy or multiple copies the quality of my books and their delivery dates will be realistics.
I am happy to share that our website has had several visitors over that past few months. I am also excited to share that my fabulous illustrator is close to completing our text/illustration draft. The development of bringing Jordie and Butch from idea to print has been slow but worthwhile.
As a retired educator, the timeline of 178 days to introduce, teach, learn, and then master was my timeline. In the world of creating a children's picture book, the timeline is much more fluid and expansive. Definitely less stressful.
