Entertaining, educational, fun and funny, Coleen Salley has built a worldwide reputation as a children's literature expert. Through the years, she has opened the door to the magical world of children's books and exposed all eyes to the wonders of reading and the talents of children's authors and illustrators.

At the youthful age of 72, Mrs. Salley published her first children's book "Who's That Tripping Over My Bridge?" illustrated by Amy Dixon (Pelican Publishing). Shortly thereafter we were introduced to the hilarious character in the award winning book "Epossumondas", illustrated by Janet Stevens (Harcourt Inc.). Epossumondas tales continue to delight everyone in "Why Epossumondas Has No Hair On His Tail" and "Epossumondas Saves The Day."
