About this title

About the Author:

Laurie Parker has enjoyed writing rhyming narratives, lyrics, and verse since early childhood. Another of her long-time favorite pastimes is cutting and pasting paper to create collages such as the ones used to illustrate her books.

Parker is a self-employed artist who crafts a unique line of whimsical pins which she currently sells at art shows and retail events throughout the South.

She is the author of four other ryming regional books. Her alphabet book series inlcudes Mississippi Alphabet and Texas Alphabet. In Parker's first two books, she wove more than 300 state town names into charming stories told in ryming narrative: Everywhere in Mississippi is the adventure of a dog named Skippy, whose owner searches for him throughout the state, while All Over Alabama is the delightful account of an extended family of frogs.
