About the Books:
Harold and Tyler Skills
This story is about a special person that happens to have a speech impairment. He demonstrates that even with this hurdle, a person still has other gifts. The lesson is just because a person has an impairment, he or she should not be shunned or laughed at by his peers.
Adventures with Jugney
In 2015, our personal van, Jugney, gave me the blues for approximately four months. So, I decided to turn those trying times into a fun book for children! Enjoy!!
Harold & Tyler Bravery
This book begins Harold’s journey to find acceptance among his peers. He is a loner, not of his own choosing, but, because he has been shunned by others that don’t understand his disability. One day he sees a group of his peers playing in the park. They let him join in their game. Two good things happened to Harold on that day. The others learned that Harold likes to do and is able to do what they do. Also, Harold met Tyler, who became his best friend. Suddenly, the world didn’t seem so lonely to Harold anymore.
