Tilly And The Ferocious Flood

Author Brittany Crawford has lived with cerebral palsy since she was nine months old; however, she is not confined to a wheelchair. Since her disability prevents her from driving, Crawford spends much of her time writing, including her weekly article, "The Cecil Round Up," published in her local Arkansas newspaper "The Spectator." She is active in the Cecil Methodist Church and the Franklin County Book Club. Crawford plans to create an I Will Be Okay series and is working on an adult memoir based on the adventures she and her illustrator, Michelle Oakley, encountered during a vacation. Illustrator Michelle Oakley is 21 and lives with her parents in Sperry, Oklahoma. She loves to draw and never lets her disability get in the way of her artistic ability.
