About The Author
I’m thrilled to share with you my children’s picture book series, The Adventures of Clive & Sydney, the Dancing Armadillos, and songs! It gives me so much pleasure to write about Clive and Sydney and their adventures, the stories and songs practically write themselves! At the same time, I never lose sight of my objective: to write fun and engaging stories with messages designed to instill valuable lessons and help build character, as well as fun songs to sing and dance to. The songs also enhance kids’ connection with Clive and Sydney. My motivation? My deep love for children and the responsibility I believe each of us has to nurture, inspire, and delight these precious beings.
