Perry Passyflyer Takes Flight For Your Child

QUARRYVILLE, PA, July 11, 2012

Authors Katie Eshleman, Elizabeth Arnold, and Danielle Stanely grew up together in Hunterdon County, NJ. Now as mothers, they understand the plight of parents when that certain age hits and it is time to take away a child's prized possession. Giving up the "binky", "paci", or "dummy" can be a struggle for even the most patient of nurturers. They have found a way to make this experience a joyful and adventurous journey.

Katie, a mother of three daughters, approached the writing of Perry Passyflyer with both humor and heart. "I was sure one of my daughters would walk down the aisle with their binker, " she commented with a smile. Elizabeth and Danielle are both mothers of a young son and are familiar with the pacifier battle. Elizabeth states, "my son used five (binkers) to sleep. I didn't know how we would say goodbye." Thus the idea for Perry Passyflyer took flight.
With a rhyming pattern and easy to read format, this wondrous children's book weaves fun and whimsy as pacifiers, with the help of a trusted friend, make their way to distant lands and newborns.
Elizabeth and Danielle continue to reside in NJ while Katie is now a resident of Lancaster, PA. The three moms are currently collaborating on a second children's book designed to address the perplexing world of potty training.
