Adele A. Roberts has a BA in education, MA in counseling and a CDA in early childhood development. She created the character of Sammy over forty years ago and began telling her make-believe stories to her students. She started writing the first story of Sammy when a young student asked if there was a book about the little skunk. Although it wasn’t a priority of hers at the time to write stories, she finished part of the first story and set it aside. Years later she found the old cardboard box containing the aged, colored papers of her first story. It was at this time she realized she needed to complete the task she had begun so many years before.

Kathy Holland has a BFA in painting from Virginia Commonwealth University. All illustrations in this book were done with colored pencils.
