This was the beginning of the Post Office that we know today and the book is a rhyming, illustrated, \"Postal Popping\" adventure where Dadda GG takes his great-grandson \"Asher\" on a journey through time to see the signing of the Act. Mayhem ensues with \"Tootsie\" the cat being swept into the action with alarming results. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eMy late father truly was one-of-a-kind. An immigrant from India, Ernest G. Oehme was a Postman, a Philatelist and studied the Postal History of history of India and Pakistan. Safe to say, his stamp collection was large - so large his den was an extremely chaotic (if fascinating) place!. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhile deciding what to do with his vast collection, I received my father in a dream, who told me to write about them. And so the 'Dadda GG Stamp Stories' was born. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis is so much more than just a story, as the child can personalize the book, create their own stamps on the back pages and write their own stamp stories. My goal is to help children take a journey through history in a very unique but apt way, since stamps have been there...through it all. My father would be so proud!\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMy ultimate goal is to use proceeds from the book to fundraise for various children's charities and hopefully eventually an animated television series.
