Anything

A good friend of ours, Marianne-Leigh Sanchez Ellazar or Leigh as she is known by her friends and family, recently wrote and published her first book!! Sonny and I are so proud and can't wait to receive our copy that we ordered through Barnes & Nobles. Barnes & Nobles guys... you can buy her book at a major retailer!! How cool and awesome is that?

Being a new mother, Leigh was inspired and motivated to write and illustrate Anything through her Mommy adventures with her son, Kaizen Alexander.

"Anything follows the struggles of a young elephant trying to grow up fast. His name is Dwight and he has nothing but the love and nurturing he gets from his parents. Everyday, he learns and interacts with many new things and more importantly, he discovers that choices have to be made in order to move on. What will Dwight be when he grows up and will he be well prepared for his own future? Read the book to find out." - Xlibris Publications

Looks lovely... I'm a friend of a relative of Leigh's. 27 degrees of separation?

I've linked it on my site as well:
