About this title

From the Author

Stealing is bad, we all know that. However, the temptation to take something from a store that doesn't belong to them is a situation that many young children find themselves in. I remember seeing so many beautiful things in the store when I was a child; we were not wealthy and, therefore, could not get most of the things I wanted. My parents made us understand the right and the wrong of things, though, so we were able to stay on the right side of the law.

My hope is that parents and teachers will share this story with their children and open the discussion about how wrong it is to take anything that does not belong to them. I hope that this will save the children and adults the heartache of having to deal with juvenile delinquent issues in their lives.

About the Author

Terri Kelley, M.Ed, is the author of the series of Writing Is a Process books, many other children’s picture books, as well as of the chapter book series, Gingerly. Her passion for writing and reading began when she was a very young girl. She was raised in Copperas Cove, Texas where she grew up in the country with horses and lots of freedom to explore her environment. It was an idyllic childhood that allowed her to use her imagination daily. Terri is the mother of three. Terri raised her kids in Granbury, TX and Tomball, TX. Both of these communities offered excellent schools and a country atmosphere that Terri enjoys. Terri still has ties to both towns as well as treasured friends in both places. As an adult, Terri has held a couple of different careers. After twenty successful years in business-to-business sales, Terri decided to change careers and teach. Her first teaching job was with Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District in Houston, TX. After a few years there, she became a teacher, a reading specialist, and a gifted and talented specialist in Tomball, TX. It was while she taught that she became aware of the kinds of books children enjoyed reading. She also noticed areas in need of good children’s books. You will find many of her books respond to these needs. Terri is very happily married to her best friend, Michael. Together, they live in Oakridge, OR with their black Labrador, Oliver. Terri and Michael enjoy traveling together, fishing, going to the movies, treasure hunting (at garage sales and thrift stores), and, of course, reading great books. They have many good friends with whom they enjoy spending time as well.
