Speed Bump Charlie's ABC (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781494449193)

Susan Day is passionate about children's literature and wants to inspire children to follow their dreams. She created the Astro's Adventures series which she also illustrates her work. Susan traveled around the world twice before she was seven years old. It was the sixties and the cheapest way to circumnavigate the globe was by cruise ship. It seemed only fitting that the wonderful events she experienced and the places she visited on these journeys be recorded for history. Thus, her story telling skills began. Firstly, to Rupert Bear, her lifelong companion, and then to a host of imaginary friends and finally to her pet dog once the family finally set down roots in Australia. Each book Susan creates encourages and promotes the wonderful art of story-telling with organic illustrations that reach to the very essence of the reader portraying similar character traits that their pets share. Susan lives with her family and her dogs, in particular, Rocky the Border collie and Stella, the blind dog. She is a canine behaviorist and spends her time writing and illustrating; training and counselling dogs and being bossed around by the family cat, Speed Bump Charlie.
