ABOUT THE BOOK "Don't tell me what I can't do, tell me that I can!"
Mildred the Yorkie doesn't usually suffer from a lack of confidence, but when her teacher tells her she will never get to space camp, Mildred wonders if her teacher is right - that she doesn't have what it takes to realise her dream of becoming an astronaut.
But her best pal, George the Boxer knows Mildred will reach the stars and rallies their friends to step up for Mildred and show her why she should never give up, no matter what obstacle may stand in her way, including those who say she should walk away from her dream.
George and Mildred: Limitless is a story of dreaming big, of reaching for the stars even when the goal seems impossible. It's a story of how you may lose your sparkle and think your goal is unattainable, but sometimes it just takes someone to lend you their belief until you can believe in yourself again.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Linda Erskine is an author, editor, speaker, and workshop facilitator, but her top priority is to share stories that impact children and their families around the world with her own books and other authors' stories. She wrote her first children's book by accident. George and Mildred: The Attack of the Meanie Girls started as a funny gift to her friends, but soon expanded into a series, with Life's a Beach, Let's Tango and now Limitless.
A former newspaper and magazine journalist, Linda loves the written word and telling stories. At first, they were other people's stories, but her vision soon grew to include her own and offered children and their caregivers a glimpse of what adventures not taken, and gifts not embraced, could reflect in one's life.
Her goal was to inspire children to realise their full potential and lead them to become the heroes of their own life story - to embrace their uniqueness, and to know that their essence matters. Her favourite part of her journey is seeing how children embrace the characters, and themselves in the process.
An Ontario, Canada native, Linda now resides in West Lothian, Scotland, in a miner's cottage with her boxer beast Kao, where she writes her own stories, and helps other authors realise their authorship dreams, as Oxygen Publishing's Director of Children's Books. She also offers authors a unique, one-on-one Shape Your Children's Story mentoring program.
