Sharon, a retired elementary school teacher, came up with the idea of Max's Tree as a way to teach her grandson about the seasons.  The book revolves around a huge tree which grows in Max's front yard, and how not just the tree, but various animals, transform with the seasons.

Sharon is the 2nd VP and Membership Chair of the IOTA Chapter of DKG/NJ.

Brianna Sullivan, the illustrator, is an award winning freelance artist who specializes in lifestyle portraiture. Brianna is the granddaughter of IOTA Treasurer, Denise McDermott.
