My A, B, C’s was inspired by my niece Meg Smith, who is 3 years old. Together we sat down and began to learn the alphabet. At the end of the day we had penned a poem and titled it My A, B, C’s . This was published by Forward Press in an anthology titled Take A Peek . After Meg’s Aunty Fay read, Take A Peek she illustrated my poem. We both realised, a book like this would be fun to publish and it would also make an excellent leaning aid for all children in her age group and up. Children should be encouraged to read at every opportunity, because reading is a skill in which we rely upon daily.
