About the Author

Phelicia is a native of California and has her roots in the Bay Area. She's a wife, mother to four, grandmother to two, an author, and a publisher. She has a Masters's in Reading Leadership with a focus on Multicultural Literature. Her twenty years in education include working for private, charter and public schools. She admits one of her greatest joys in teaching included teaching her own four children to read. It was during the homeschool years that she learned that not all children learn the same way and that there isn't a one size fits all curriculum. She's currently a First Grade Teacher and sits on the board of Contra Costa Counties Local Planning Council for Early Care and Education. After creating and successfully coordinating a summer Kindergarten Intervention Program for African American Children within her local school district, she participates on the design team for Ready Kids East County. Considering that Phelicia is a literacy advocate and very passionate about early literacy, these both the Ready Kids Easy County, and the Local Planning Council positions suit her well. Teaching students to learn to read well, think critically, and develop a love of literacy is a portion of her work. Assuring students have access to literature that reflects their lives and cultures in a positive light is the fuel of her passion. Thus, writing and publishing books for beginning and early readers is a byproduct of her company's mission. She writes so African American children can say, I see Me On the Page.

Editorial Reviews

"This book is a great book for early readers, as the text is simple, but readers will also get to learn facts about animals that are at the zoo. The images align to the text, so for children who are using the images for context clues, they do align. The people in the pictures are diverse as well. My boys enjoyed reading this book." T.Star
