Bill Arienti
|
Bill is a career fire fighter from Quincy, MA., a career he calls ''the
most wonderful and fulfilling job I could imagine.'' Looking for a truly
lasting gift to give his son Mark, Bill wrote the series Tales From Faxon
with the same desire to do good work that inspires him as a firefighter.
Bill takes on the topics of courage, cooperation, friendship, responsibility,
racism, bullying, death and dying and peer pressure. He does this with
warmth and understanding and with the hope that his stories will in some
way help children through difficult experiences they may encounter
Bill proves that being big and strong isn't what makes a person a fire
fighter; it's heart.

Sybil Ferreor
|
When Sybil was a child, she would answer the question "What do you want
to be when you grow up?" with the response "an artist". Life happened,
and adulthood arrived complete with a degree in math and a career in engineering.
Sybil worked in engineering, but soon realized that life is too short
not to do what makes you happy. With art in her soul Sybil took the courageous
step out of the secure business world into the world of personal fulfillment,
and never looked back. She began her new life as a graphic artist, and
galleries and coffee shop shows soon followed.
On reading the first few verses of Scooter the Rabbit, Sybil jumped at
the chance to bring Bill's beautiful stories to life.
