#SaturdaySpotlight is on Christine Bailey & 2 of her Aly the Alligator Books!

Good Morning and Welcome Back to another edition of Saturday Spotlight.

Last week I mentioned being in NY. I returned exhaused but happy and will share posts from my trip on Bathroom Blues travel blog over the next few weeks, but today, PLEASE welcome local author and friend, Christine Bailey as she shares with us 2 of her Aly the Gator books!

Welcome, Christine. Please tell us more about these books...

THANKS, Pam. Here is the full scoop...

Aly the Alligator first came to life in 2002 as Christine softly sang to her baby.  The sweet little character stayed tucked away in her heart for more than two decades.  Then, 23 years later, while praying and asking God to give her a dream, Aly came swimming back into her imagination—and the Aly the Alligator book series was born.

Illustrated y Erika Hollier and created for children ages 2-6, the Aly the Alligator series uses engaging stories, lovable characters, and gentle lessons to help young readers develop timeless values such as Smiling, Loving, Helping and Sharing. 

Christine's hope is that every child who opens an Aly the Alligator book will not only enjoy the adventure but also discover the joy of being a good person, one story at a time. Whether it’s bedtime, story time or cuddle time, Aly's adventures create meaningful moments for families while helping little hearts grow in character.  

Join Aly and her 3 best friends as they discover that even the smallest acts of kindness can make a big difference.  


Aly the Alligator Smiles is my first.


Blurb: Aly the Alligator is always looking at the bright side of life. Aly wants to make her family and her friends happy and believes that a SMILE can do that!



2nd in the series is Aly the Alligator LOVES...

The beloved Aly the Alligator is back for her second adventure! This time she explores the neighborhood park with her family and friends.

Aly learns that LOVE is always near, everywhere she goes.

You can purchase books at christinejoybooks@yahoo.com, at Christine Bailey State Farm agency in Moss Bluff and Lake Charles, Bux Kajun Korner in downtown Lake Charles, Wise Publications in Sulphur, Mia's in the Mall, Sway Boutique in Moss Bluff, The Children's Museum on the lake front and at The Charmed Page Book Store in Lake Charles.

BIO: The Aly the Alligator series is Christine's first literary project.  She is married, has 3 children and is a local business woman.  This has been an exciting project using the creative side of her brain instead of the business side.  

Thank you SO much Christine! 

If you have children and/or grandchildren, I hope you'll get Christine's Aly the Alligator books for them, Friends.

Books 3 and 4 will be spotlighted next month so be sure to check back weekly for more great authors and books on Saturday Spoltight!

Until next time, take care, God Bless and Read Happy.
