This is an ABC picture book of animals, lovingly created for my grandchildren and including the names of all 22 who are with us, as well as a wee one in utero who will be joining our family in early 2025! I began work on the writing and illustrations in August 2024 and gave myself a December deadline, hoping to have it finished in time to give the kids for Christmas. And I made it, but just barely!
