Pittsburg, California Nov 12, 2019 (Issuewire.com) - Louisville, KY - The first book in the Life of Neck series, New Friends: Life in the Neck introduces a group of beloved animals as they meet and learn about friendship, teamwork, and the busy world around them. An inspiring story of how strong bonds within could be the key in overcoming adversities, this book is a delightful read for kids and kids at heart.
Writer Diane Davies lives in the Neck, right next to the animals making their home there. Living with her husband, Papa Butch, and right next door to her granddaughter Elsie, grandson Eli, and their mom and dad, she loves her role as Grandmother Diane, and her whole family enjoys their life on the St. Croix River.
Illustrator Margarita Sikorskaia was born in St. Petersburg, Russia, and grew up a free-spirited tomboy, climbing trees, zooming on a bike, getting dirty, and getting into trouble. But most of all, she could sit quietly and draw for hours. Margarita came to the United States in 1990, having trained in art at the Hertzen Pedagogical University of St. Petersburg, and settled in Minneapolis. A prolific and passionate artist, she has exhibited her paintings throughout the country. Margarita turned her attention to the illustration in 2009 and takes much pride and pleasure in bringing children’s stories to life.
Life in the Neck New Friends is a Gold Award recipient of the prestigious Mom’s Choice Award, a globally recognized award for establishing the benchmark of excellence in family-friendly media, products, and services.
