This book shows that it's OK to have a unique feature because it is special and just for you. About the Author Katherine Ann lived in a small Texas town and, also, by a big city, so she saw a little of both worlds. While she was a wife, mother, and employee she wrote a book. She then put it on the shelf for 20 years. Now retired and a grandmother, she finally pursued publishing her book. She wants to inspire children to read and have a positive self-image. Hopefully, this will be her first book with more encouraging and uplifting stories to come.
