Résumé :

Vincent and Victoria are vines climbing different sides of an abandoned cottage in the woods. One is on the sunny side, the other in the shadows. Together they learn that their goal is the same and they help each other achieve that goal, which is to climb on to the roof and head to the top, while following the sun. This is a picture book that stresses the positive goal of cooperation and friendship.

Biographie:
I grew up in Sharpsville, a small steel town in western PA. I attended the Univ. of Pittsburgh where I double majored in biology and psychology, then went on to dental school at Temple Univ. After graduating dental school I entered the Public Health Service and helped set up a dental clinic in Elizabeth, W. VA., a beautiful little town that reminded me of Mayberry. Lastly, I entered into dental practice with Dr. Nelson Robbins in Ocean City, NJ where I practiced for 36 years. I have been writing and illustrating picture books for 30 years.
