Giselle Mavis is a student wielding the written craft to enrapture the mind much like an artist wields a brush. Ever since she's seven she enjoyed reading to her heart's content. She's a mother of five and grandmother of eleven children. She resides in a small town nestled in the hills of Pennsylvania. The holidays (to her) bring happy cheer, the family gatherings and good food, tasty wine and fine company. Little Edbert Dough, a rhyme about a pre-school student that fascinates close adults with his attractive quirk loving rainfall. He's an opposite of any kid not wanting rain to spoil their day. Whether it hits his windowpane or the roof of the house it lulls him enjoying life. He likes the sound of rain falling as he sleeps and plays in his room. His mother wonders if he's a lonely four-year old. He's learning to tie his shoes and button his coat for school. They live near Lake Erie a big body of water. He and his family go to Presque Isle Beach searching for seashells.
