About this title

About the Author

Sally Lee Baker, storyteller, author and illustrator wrote her first alliterative story using the letter “B” in a Writing for Juveniles class in college. After marrying, raising two girls and then reading to grandchildren, she was inspired to write alliterative stories using each letter of the alphabet. Not knowing where to turn for a good illustrator, Sally attempted some drawings herself. After several efforts she surprised herself at being able to draw characters which she could scan on to her computer to color and manipulate through a drawing program. By the time she wrote the "H" alliterative story she was able to do all the drawing on the computer alone. As library clerk at her local public school she had many opportunities to read to students and note which books were well received and which were not. Sally lives with her husband, Ted, and near most of her grandchildren in Faro, Yukon Territory of Canada, where they have retired as missionaries with SEND International.

"Reviewed By Edith Wairimu for Readers' Favorite
It takes great skill and caution to survive in the swampy area that Sylvia and Sandi call home. A simple mistake could mean not seeing your family ever again in the dangerous waters that are inhabited by manyoccupants. It is for this reason that Sylvia embarks on teaching Sandihow to survive in the perilous waters. Her advice is simple, 'stay close and do not talk to strangers', but like any other youthful salamander,Sandi is curious and naïve and only time will tell whether she haslearned her sister's survival tactics. Written and illustrated by SallyLee Baker, Salamander Sisters follows the life of Sandi as she comes ofage and sheds her innocent outlook on the world around her. The book isthe nineteenth of a sequence of ABC stories. It particularly focuses onteaching children within the ages of 3-5 the many applications of theletter "S."

In Salamander Sisters, Sally Lee Baker weaves an interesting story while enlightening the young reader on the many applications of the letter"S." Her experience as an author of children's books shines from everypage in the book. The story was very engrossing, practical andthoughtful. The idea of identifying the hidden letter in everyillustration was brilliant. It adds a fun twist to the book and enhances the story's primary theme. Additionally, the book contains a lifelesson that is applicable to the targeted readership. Salamander Sisters will prove helpful to any child learning the use of the letter "S,"therefore, I highly recommend it."
