Author Biography

Lawrence Mollot (August 17, 1919 - November 10, 2010) It is with great reverence and love that this book is dedicated to its author, my father, Lawrence Mollot. Always optimistic, innovative, compassionate, and multi-talented, "Larry," as we knew him, was an award-winning film producer, director, editor, and writer as well as an amazing father, grandfather, and mentor. He lived by the "Golden Rule" and knew how to make life magical. Larry passed away in November 2010, but the inspiration of his life, movies, and writings will be cherished by generations to come. In his honor, this is the first of his many children's stories offered for your reading pleasure. Enjoy! -Jaime Mollot Ressler
