    About the Authors

    Arel Moodie (on the left)
    When Arel Moodie isn’t helping his kids find purple penguin clues he can be found giving motivational speeches to schools and businesses or coaching consultants. He is the best selling author of chapter books so he thought it was time to write his first picture book. He also is very much in love with the co-author.

    Yolanda Febles (on the right)
    Yolanda Febles loves eating and cooking delicious food, dancing, and hanging out with her family. She loves figuring out the best way to help young children grow into awesome adults. This is her first picture book. She also loves the co-author very much.

    They wrote this book because it worked for their awesome kiddos and they hope it will work for yours too!
