Cara Sharp (left) signs a copy of My Twelve Brothers and Me for Jacki James (right) as her father, Chic, waits for the pen. Chic wrote the book, which is the first in a series of 13 books recounting tales he used to tell Cara and her siblings when they were young. Cara provided the gay and delightful illustrations. As for James, she loved the book and vows to purchase the entire collection. You can find the Sharps' children's book at Grizzly Books and online at www.mytwelvebrothersandme.com. David F.
