About the Author: Joni Kerline-Nowak

Ms. Kerline-Nowak developed a delightful tale from a true story. Through 48 pages of lush hand illustrated pages, young readers and their parents get to know 'Sebastian'. He is an endearing little garden creature who finds himself in a lot of trouble when he doesn't listen to his family and friends advice.

Ms. Nowak is a compelling character, herself. Mother of three children, she is a well known figure across most of Northern Ohio's ER departments. Depending on the day's work at hand, she can also be found riding with critical ground transport teams or assisting with, all volunteer, Angel Flights taking her far from her base in Northeastern Ohio. Over the past several years she has used her artistic talents to craft a series of books for children. Additional story lines are under development and will be released into print in 2007/2008.

The book is currently available at Borders, Barnes & Noble, Joseph/Beth, or direct from the authors website: www.sebastianbreaksforfreedom.com or her publishers site: www.kidbookink.com.

Ms. Nowak has also co-founded a publishing co. devoted to providing a unique web-based story writing application, that children can use to write and 'publish' their own stories from.
It is a truely unique place where children can come to create! Please take a moment to wander through the magic of  KidBookInk !! Ms. Nowak is available to schools and private organizations for readings, lectures and workshops.
