Abraham was a pet tortoise who yearned for adventure. For years, he went to Kindergarten with his parent and owner- a teacher. In her classroom, Abe could roam ( with a balloon attached) as students worked, or join them on the rug during snack and story time. He even went outside at recess on the playground to wander on warm sunny days.Abraham had several "great escapes" over the years, both at school and at the author's home. Once making it three blocks from her home, the beloved tortoise appeared on the town's online community page searching for his family. That day he made it safely home in a bucket carried by two teenage girls. The last escape, sadly Abe was never found.After he was gone, Alison was encouraged by friends, neighbors and co-workers to use her creative imagination to write this story about Abe, the adventurous tortoise loved by so many.

"Taking God to School" is a work of bold heart and pure faith. Written in simple text and illustrated by the author in pictures in the style of classroom "Writer's Workshop" drawings, it presents children's rights to practice their faith and beliefs throughout the day- especially at school! Separation of Church and State has been quoted and used inaccurately to discourage and at times prohibit families and students from demonstrating their faith and their rights to freedom of religion. Children can say grace, privately pray, include God and Jesus in their writing, bring and read their Bibles at school! In a world in need of bringing faith back into homes and schools, may this book help educate teachers, families and students while spreading God's glorious love as He walks with you through each moment of every day!
