Jillian is my six year old granddaughter.
That is where "The Miracle at Unicorn Beach was born..
Our imaginations were on fire.
One day with Jillian, our collaboration came freely and quickly.
For years it has been my desire to write a children\'s book.
I love creating with my grandchildren.
I teach ESL at a local community college.
I have written two novels in addition to my two books of memoirs about my 30 year journey with Parkinson\'s disease.
Writing has become my passion.
I wrote the dialog of the book in a way that through repetitive words and phrases, it will help young readers learn to read and love to read. " Miracle at Unicorn Beach " is the book I put together using Jillian\'s artwork, my artwork, a few random internet photos, and photographs of our experiences at the beach.
It is about a family who has a thrilling encounter with a mysterious and spectacular, Unicorn.
We decided to write a book about the story we created.
One involved the Beach and a Unicorn, Jillian\'s favorite place and thing.
One winter\'s day, we started making up stories.
Jill, her brother, Nick, and I spend a lot of time together telling stories, drawing, coloring, and dancing.
