Al Summa, an illustrator who was born and raised in Dunmore and now lives in Moscow, provided the illustrations for a children’s book written by his son, Joshua, entitled “Courage for the First Day of School.” This is Joshua’s first book with Foundations Books.

The book shows this is a bittersweet time since summer is over and school is about to start. Children worry about which teacher they will get. The child’s imagination runs wild, hoping for the best, but imagining the worst.

The book is now available from Amazon for Kindle and paperback, Foundations Books, Barnes and Noble, the Nook, Smashwords, Books a Million, Kobo, Scribd, and 2200 other retailers.
