My book is about a little girl who is handicapped and her ability to talk to the birds and animals that come to her window and her two best friends, Smokey the cat and Bandit the dog. The critters get together and make a special Christmas gift for Cheryl and her family. I have always loved animals and have always imagined what they would say if they could talk. I was a school lunchroom manager and loved reading with passion. I worked with teachers to donate books to the birthday book club for students who could not afford it. I live with a crazy cat named Charlie. He was a rescue.
