Meet Archie Weatherly
Thank you for taking the time to meet me here on this wonderful platform. You can also visit Ji-hoon and Elsa on my website, or should I rather say, “Their website,” and get a copy of Ji-hoon and Elsa’s free activities. www.archieweatherly.com I moved to Illinois with my parents when I was two years old from the United Kingdom. I grew up in Illinois and went on to work as a teacher, lecturer, and parenting life coach. I’m married to a lovely woman and have two wonderful children. I like to cook, fish, play table tennis, and go hiking. My true passion is writing, which I intend to pursue full-time soon. When I was thinking about teaching my own children some life lessons about saying sorry, how to treat others, and diversity, I decided to do it in a fun and straightforward way by incorporating it into a story. Jihoon and Elsa were originally written for my two children. Jihoon and Elsa’s stories positively impacted my kids’ lives, so I decided to share them with every other child to inspire them. Adults will tell you about one or two people who made a significant difference in their lives. My goal is to write books for children that they will remember as adults as ‘books or coloring books that changed their lives.’ Your words have the potential to make a significant difference in the lives of children. When was the last time you encouraged a child or a friend, cheered them up, or let them know they were valued? A few words of encouragement can have a positive impact. May the words in these books inspire children to be their best selves by building their characters in a language they can relate to. I’m sure you’ll appreciate a few unique features in the storybooks and coloring books. Soon you can be expecting more exciting books from Ji-hoon and Elsa. These books are dedicated to every child who deserves to laugh, learn, and be inspired to make a difference. We are going to laugh together. We are going to learn together. We are going to be inspired together. We are going to make a difference together. Your friend Archie www.archieweatherly.com

Meet Bonnie Lieberman
I grew up in the Bronx in a neighborhood in which social acceptance was greatly based upon wearing similar clothing, hairstyles, using the same expressions, and walking with the same strut as my popular peers. Hence, the idea for this story. I live in the Mid-Hudson Valley with my child therapist husband and our two dogs. We relish spending time with our adult children and grandgirls. My husband and I have a common interest: “Must Love Dogs and Children”. I treasure reconnecting with friends from my childhood and adolescence.
