About the Author
Beverly Forgione is a widow residing in New England. She is a mother of three and a grandmother of eight. This is her first children’s book inspired by her grandson Matthew who is also the illustrator of this book. She is dedicating this book to her two amazing daughters that have encouraged her over the years to put pen to paper and write!
Matthew grew up in a small town in New Hampshire with two brothers, one sister and two loving parents. When Matthew attended elementary school he picked up drawing as a hobby. Something to keep his mind entertained to get through some of those boring days. Eventually, it grew into a passion which earned him two Silver Keys and an Honorable Mention. He has pursued art ever since. Drawing reminds him of what it was like to be a kid again and to be so in love with his own imagination.
