James Petrillo

I've had a wonderful 33-year career in Public Education. I hold a Bachelor's Degree from Seton Hall University in South Orange, New Jersey and a Master's Degree from The College Of New Jersey. I've been a substitute teacher in 2015-2016 and for the 2022-2023 and 2023-34 school year in southern Delaware. After my first book, outlining my career as a classroom teacher and Student Activity Coordinator, I turned to writing Children's Stories. "The Magic of Minipeeps" is the first in a series of books about the adventures of Mandi and Brad and the Magical Minipeeps. I always convey a message to my readers as this first book explores the values of acceptance of others, determination, friendship and not believing in rumors. I encourage imagination using colorful characters and plots. The follow-up book in the series is entitled, "Trouble in Turtletown: The Minipeeps are Missing". Again, I stress the values of teamwork, determination and not giving up on a task when it seems impossible to complete. The book is written but not yet published. In my books, besides delivering an important message to my readers, I encourage imagination and creative thinking through my characters and plots. Please follow me, if you will; there's a lot more to come!!
