With five children, seven grand kids and two great grand children, Waring Jones is more than qualified to be writing a children's book. He was raised in a bi-racial family with oral traditions and books galore being read around the table by his father. Waring has written over three hundred poems from silly to the sublime. One of his main objectives to fuel his energy is to try and meet a new person every day. He belongs to the Victoria Story Tellers Guild in British Columbia and first told his story there. One of his author friends suggested that he publish the tale so that others might enjoy it as well. He has been promoting the book around North America since its publication and does readings at libraries and schools.
