This poetry book begins as Nigel is a toddler and each verse describes the first twelve (12), years of his life. It is filled with rhymes and reasons why I was always amazed by his character as a child. I spent countless hours with him and was compelled to watch him grow and eventually made his story into poetic verses. It is for all my nieces and nephews and to fill the hearts of children.
The book title: OH NIGEL IS THAT YOU ... is simply in gratitude to his parents; my brother Mark and his wife Toni, who raised four children: Mark Jr., Sherisse, Aaron and Nigel. I was fortunate enough to live with Nigel, not having children of my own. I loved and laughed alongside him as he grew and excelled in French, music and all the opportunities his parents provided.
BookBaby was selected as my publisher: Gave me the opportunity to choose how the book will be published and the reasonable pricing in self publishing. Also the BookBaby Publishing Company, worked with me on my timetable without any pressure. They allow the author to create their book in their own fashion.
