Guess What???
The Spelling Bee and Me: A Real-Life Adventure in Learning Gail wrote with Kendra Yoshinaga when they went to Washington D.C. for the Scripps National Spelling Bee. The book came about when Kendra's younger brother Kai discovered that a spelling bee isn' t about playing musical chairs or bees buzzing in Washington, DC.

The true story written especially for children describes the fun and adventure of what really happens at the National Spelling Bee. David Endelman's illustrations give an insider's view of the spelling bee experience.

Also included is a step by step account of preparing for a bee with academic tips, techniques, and hands-on learning activities.

The inspiration for THE BIG SQUEAL: A Wild, True, and Twisted Tail is in Gail's book JOYFUL LEARNING: No One Ever Wants To Go To Recess! It is a true story based on a memorable and hilarious day during her 35 year teaching career.

LIFE'S LITTLE LESSONS: An Inch By Inch Tale of Success was inspired by Jhayne M. Eddy and A Father's Heart Executive Committee of the Wealth of Nations Foundation whose philosophy is, "Everyday is a new day which gives us a new opportunity to shape a child's life."
