About the Author

SISTERS ON A MISSION TO MAKE A BETTER FUTURE FOR ALL CHILDRENWe're sisters and best friends and we wrote the children's book series, TUKIE TALES™: A New Beginning for a Better Tomorrow.(http://www.tukietales.com)After we grew up, we had families of our own and watched the daily news. The terrible things happening around the world was harming so many people and distressed both of us. It was very sad to see the way people bullied and treated each other. We talked about it and decided that we had to try to do something to help. We really didn't know what to do or how we could do it; we just knew we had to do something. We want all children to be safe, to have honest values, and care about the world we live in. Teaching positive values to children is the answer. We want to be part of the solution.We decided that we needed to start with very young children. Since we read to our children when they were young, we thought the best way we could help was to write stories for children with full color illustrations so the young children can enjoy looking at the pictures, while the story is being read to them. We started to write our stories on February 15, 1993. It has been a long journey to complete the books, get them illustrated, and published. We wrote our stories in honor of all victims of violence. Our stories were written with compassion and love in our hearts for all of our world's children in the hope of making a positive difference.
