Bob Wheeler is an ordained Minister of Music who has directed choirs and music activities for all ages since he was a senior in high school. He has enjoyed writing poems and hymns for special occasions for many years. A few years ago, he wrote the poems for “I Wish . . .” As his granddaughter, Hannah, developed her artistic talent, he suggested she do illustrations for the poems. Little did he dream they would ever be published.
Hannah Wheeler has been drawing since childhood. She is currently a freshman at VCU arts. She created the illustrations for this book when she was a sophomore in high school. Hannah used her grandpa’s poems as an inspiration for her illustrations and enjoyed getting to work with him.
