Gloria Dunshee has been writing funny stories about her family for years, much to their amusement and chagrin. Although these stories have been at their expense, they have wanted her to write more stories for the public, and finally the reason came - a grandson, William. Her daughter, Karne McGary, mother of William, has always wanted to illustrate books for children, so this was the perfect collaboration for both of them.
