My mom, Charise Leemis has been a 2-3-year-old teacher for the past 12 years. She was having a hard time finding books for her littlest readers that would keep their attention. She decided to write her own book and I, her daughter, became the illustrator! The books focus on vibrant illustrations of my childhood dog, Holly. The Hollydog Books have only 1-2 sentences per page, so that the reader can ask the listeners questions about the pictures in order to build conversation and comprehension skills with the little ones.
