Christine Ferrin Lydon has been writing and illustrating since she was a child. Many of her stories came to mind while raising her children and finding creative ways to calm them before bed or while driving on long trips with her children. Her illustrations have been used in clothing lines nationwide and her artwork has primarily been pen and ink and water colors. After raising her children, she began sharing the stories with her grandchildren and felt it was time to share the stories she created throughout the years and put them into print. This is the first of many more books to come.
