Mike Wise is a self-taught artist/writer who has not lost touch with the little boy inside him. He still vividly remembers the things that delighted him as a child, especially those things in illustrated children's storybooks. It has long been his dream to contribute his own storybook to the world, and his hope is that he has captured even a small piece of that same magic world that captured his imagination so long ago. He eagerly passes it on to you and your children. He has always said he never wanted to completely grow up, for if he ever did, this book would never be.
