A teacher from
Stratford and a lawyer have teamed up to try their hands at a children's book.
Monica Talbot Kerkes
and her cousin, Sharla Charpenteir, wanted to
combine their love of travel and animals into "The Love Llama."
The book takes
children on a journey all over the world where they learn about animals and
endangered species in several countries.
The duo began creating the book three years ago. Charpanteir started by sketching out the characters from her home in Michigan.
Their goal is to make a series that will become a fun part of a teacher's curriculum.
The authors say
Ned the Narwhal will star in his own book coming out later this summer.
