Note From Anita:
I have always had a tender spot in my heart for children. I began working with children’s ministry when I was fourteen years old. A teacher at heart, I homeschooled my own children. It seemed natural to begin my career as an author with children’s books. So that is what I did. I do have other books planned and written. However, my illustrator (me) needs to finish the illustrations before I can publish the books. Thank you for your forbearance and understanding as I deal with my illustrator problem.
