Book excerpt: I am a licensed childrens psychologist who resides in Tampa, Florida. I work with a variety of children, ranging from the age of three years to young adult. I specialize in play therapy along with other creative techniques to help guide individuals on a variety of mental-health issues. The innocence and creativity of children have always inspired me. My international travels in South America and Europe along with scuba diving have further influenced my writing. I believe the story of Lily the Llama focuses on the beginning reader but speaks to all audiences.
