Bennett, A. J.: - The love of art, animals, and America was the driving force behind A.J.'s creation of The Adventures of Big Sil children's books. A.J. collaborated with many entrepreneurial individuals who shared their creative talents in writing, illustration, and photography in the making of this children's book series. Most of all, this children's book was inspired by the adventurous spirit, friendship and unconditional love of Big Sil, a real life American Pit Bull Terrier. Once considered "America's Dog", the pit bull is one of the most abandoned dogs today. A portion of the proceeds from this children's book will be donated to pit bull charities. A.J. and Big Sil reside in New Jersey.
