She also earn a bachelor's degree in English from Roosevelt University and a master's degree in education\/administration from Governors State University. She is now a retired Chicago public school teacher where she taught for twenty-seven years. I have written a book of poems and many short stories. The story of Alan the Butterfly is one story that connected with everyone. It came about one day while I was sitting at my desk in my classroom. I saw a butterfly resting on the windowsill. After it stayed there for a while, I started pondering as to where could it be going. I gave it a place to go, a reason why, and a journey to experience. I named him Alan. I hope you enjoy reading about Alan as much as I enjoyed writing his story. I also hope to publish his sequel. Thanks.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Xlibris Us","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50363268759826,"sku":"9781796044836","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_cd5545ba-63f3-4df0-bcc5-40c3216044f3.jpg?v=1728409709","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/alan-the-butterfly-9781796044836","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
