Sally Lee Baker, storyteller, author and illustrator wrote her first alliterative story using the letter "B" in a Writing for Juveniles class in college. After marrying, raising two girls and then reading to grandchildren, she was inspired to write alliterative stories using each letter of the alphabet. Not knowing where to turn for a good illustrator, Sally attempted some drawings herself. After several efforts she surprised herself at being able to draw characters which she could scan on to her computer to color and manipulate through a drawing program. By the time she wrote the "H" alliterative story she was able to do all the drawing on the computer alone. As library clerk at her local public school she had many opportunities to read to students and note which books were well received and which were not. With one daughter and family near Edmonton, Alberta, Sally takes advantage of visits there to read in other public schools. Sally and her husband, Ted, have retired, as missionaries, from SEND International and live near their other daughter and family in Faro, Yukon Territory of Canada. See less
