I’m Jean Summit-Riker.  I’m so happy to meet you.

I am the author of A Secret Penny–The Book and The Magic Bowl.

I wanted to take  a moment to say “Hello” and tell you a little about me and the book.  I am a mother, grandmother and in the past, a teacher for children experiencing reading problems.

Children have always been an important part of my life. Each time I hear about bullying and the unkind events that are taking place now between children, it makes me sad.

One day, as I was thinking about this,  J.S. Firefly flew into my life.  He had an important message that he asked me to help him share. I wanted to help him save the fireflies and show children how very special they are and how important it is to treat each other with kindness and respect, so I agreed to write his story.

I, as well as Firefly,hope you will read his book and help him with his mission to keep the fireflies’ lights glowing brightly and replace sadness with smiles on the faces of our children.
