I would first like to extend a warm thanks to Steve Thomas, the illustrator of this book. You stepped out on the ledge with me and took a leap of faith that this book would be real someday. Your drawings have captured the essence of the characters while leaving room for our imaginations to expand upon their world. It is important for me to acknowledge you for your time and efforts thus far. Alphabet Silly Time would not be artistically intact without your drawings which bring it to life. I am truly eager to share the excitement of this book's journey with you.

Thank you to my extended family for your much needed networking skills and gracious support. To my close friends, I am grateful for your enthusiasm and motivational feedback. A BIG thanks to my husband as well. You are my unconditional assistant and I could not have done this without you. Finally, to my son who inspires me to think like a child, embrace my dreams with faith and to never let go of the fun in life.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, all!
