Book Description
Most of my books deal with social issues. I have been asked if I couldn't write something that is more light hearted. We have all known children that become "experts" on things they like and we have been amazed at how much they can learn when they are internally motivated. The boy who loved sharks is an example of how one little boy succeeds in his dreams by using what he has learned and demonstrating his compassionate nature.
