What Is Wrong with Little Lion?

About the Author

The author raised four biological children and a large number of foster children who struggled with individual problems, both medical and psychological. An assistant administrator in a school for the gifted, she saw special children with unique needs and challenges. One of her daughters became a child life specialist in Oncology and another daughter a teacher at the School for the Deaf and Blind in St. Augustine, Florida, enhancing Peters' awareness of the struggles of challenged children.

All these circumstances were the inspiration to write and illustrate stories about difficulties children face, as well as their finding solutions and acceptance within themselves. Children often learn more quickly than adults that a difficult path is often just a different path and there are others that walk the same path with them. Nothing surpasses the joy in seeing the first smile of a child who has struggled with a difficult situation and begun to understand that success is possible.
