More about Laura Joswiak: Laura's debut book is titled “A Rainbow of Orange” and is available on Amazon and Ingram. It’s a delightful story about a spirited little girl with reddish-orange hair, in search of her lost orange kitten. She is currently working on her second story, which is a rhyming children’s picture book about a monkey. She plans to release that book in 2025. She may even share a sneak preview of this story at the literacy event on January 16th .
More about Elena Melling: Elena and her husband Michael (Yes, AFSA's very own Mr. Melling!) have been married for 21 years and live in the river valley of Wisconsin with their 6 sons. She is a homeschooler and small business owner. When their youngest son, Rhodes-who has Down Syndrome, was just 6 months old he showed he had a love for reading which inspired Elena to write a rhyming book about him!
Elena's book is titled Rhodes' Magnificent Toes. Join Rhodes, a spirited little boy, on an enchanting adventure that celebrates the advantages of being born with an extra chromosome! In Rhodes' Magnificent Toes , readers are invited into a day filled with fun, laughter, and toe-tapping excitement as Rhodes showcases his incredible hyper-flexibility and imaginative toe tricks.
