About the Author: Joseph Anthony
Joseph Anthony and Cris Arbo are husband and wife who live with their four girls in Buckingham, VA. Joseph draws on an unusually varied background for his writing. For four years he was a trumpet player for the Navy, and his world view was expanded when he visited 35 countries on five continents as a Navy musician. As a corrections officer in a Virginia prison he gained a very different perspective on life and learned to stick up for himself. As a construction supervisor he gains yet another perspective. Joseph and Cris have created two wonderful children’s books for Dawn Publications:The Dandelion Seed and In a Nutshell. Joseph is also the author of Innerworld (published by Bonneville Books), a young adult novel about finding what it takes to change the world.
"The Dandelion Seed" is a story about a seed that is scared to let go, but the wind blows it away. It sees a lot of different things in the world and eventually lands, turns into a dandelion flower, and then casts its own seeds.This popular, simple book is beautiful and touching.
A delightful tail of how an acorn grows into a mighty oak tree, helps sustain other life, and eventually dies and continues to give life to others. The images are wonderfully detailed and beautifully colored.
