On a cul-de-sac, near a park, lives a little girl named Stephanie and her friends Jason and Bubbe...In the second book of the series, a first airplane ride, a first school snow day, learning how to read and ice skate, and coping with a new baby brother in the family are a few of the firsts Stephanie is about to experience. Along the way, she learns about life, about building friendships, and about the joys of shared adventures. For parents and caregivers everywhere, here is the story of the childhood journey and the growth that takes place in so many different ways. As a business writer for more than thirty-five years, Richard J. Trilling has published books and articles and written successful business proposals for clients. His foray into writing for children, however, did not begin until his grandchildren were born. Until that time he was the family's oral storyteller. In his Stephanie and Friends series, many of the stories have been adapted from experiences his own children went through when they were youngsters. Trilling, who considers himself more of a communicator than a writer, taught at the university level and is about to teach a course to retirees.Originally from Manhattan, New York, he has made his home in Durham, North Carolina, for forty years and is working on publishing his third professional book.
