A mischievous creature who would rather play than learn to read gobbles up the vowels from the books in the library.
Nancy Turgeon majored in creative writing and co-founded her own ad agency at age 27. Seeds for The Alekizou were sown by her second grade teacher, who challenged the class to find words without vowels. In addition to writing delightful children's books, she has her own puppet theater and more than 100 puppets! Over the past 35 years, DC-area illustrator Patricia Raine occasionally takes a recess from the complex, grown-up world of political caricature and visual editorial commentary to create richly imagined paintings for the infinitely sweeter and simpler world of children.
