Author Biography
Sally Lee Baker, storyteller, author and illustrator wrote her first alliterative story using the letter "B" in a Writing for Juveniles class in college. After marrying, raising two girls and then reading to grandchildren, she was inspired to write alliterative stories using each letter of the alphabet. Not knowing where to turn for a good illustrator, Sally attempted some drawings herself. After several efforts she surprised herself at being able to draw characters which she could scan on to her computer to color and manipulate through a drawing program. As library clerk at her local public school she had many opportunities to read to students and note which books were well received and which were not. Sally lives with her husband, Ted, and near her grandchildren in Faro, Yukon Territory of Canada, where they serve as missionaries with SEND International.
