Gail Aherne-Author and Laura Foltz - Author/Illustrator, Co-Creators, and collaborators of Mouse and Bee, connected in a writing critique group over their love of literacy and protecting our precious pollinators. Their inspiration for the Mouse and Bee stories and plush reading buddies stemmed from their connection to Dolly Parton's Imagination Library. You can do anything in life if you can read.
