The idea for this story came from my father’s personal experience. Belonging to a family of civil rights activists, surrounded me with many stories of pride, oppositions, and triumph. The inspiration to turn a snippet of my father’s story into a picture book was initiated by my husband, Joel.

In listening to my father tell his story over and over, his determination to excel always overshadowed his oppositions. Although he mentioned his fears and his feelings of isolation, his confidence kept him from wavering. He held his own personal pep rally, by telling himself, “I can do this.” At first, I didn’t think I could give my father’s story justice as a picture book, and my husband became my personal cheerleader by telling me, “You can do it.” It’s ironic how the same willpower that enabled my father to surpass his doubts, also allowed me to surpass mine.

THE ADVENTURE OF SHELDON,THE MUSHROOM?

We were inspired to write this story after a family night of storytelling. In an attempt to be "creative", we decided to tell stories "out of our heads". I listened as everyone told their "silly" stories and at last, it was my turn to take the floor. A lonely little mushroom character had already popped into my mind, but how was I going to tell his story? As I began speaking, Sheldon's story unfolded and captivated the minds of my family. After several years, Sheldon wouldn't let us rest, until others knew his story, too. With vibrant illustrations by Joann M. Alford, and lively songs to entertain children of all ages, we invite you to meet our "family friend, Sheldon"...we can almost guarantee, you'll love him as much as we do.
