TERESA BRIDEAU has worked in the Public Education System for over twenty years surrounded by children from ages 4 and up. She sees all children, even those who struggle with life, to be precious gifts. This book was inspired by a special friend whose family made her feel, "royal" whenever she was around them. She began to ponder on the idea of how everyone should be made to feel royal! After all, God Himself calls us, "a royal priesthood" (1 Peter 2:9). In A Special Tea Party, three young sisters experience a surprise guest who visits them as they toast their little tea cups to the "King of kings"! This book is sure to bring royal pleasure to the reader. Teresa has three beautiful grown children: Crystal, Matthew, and Justin along with several grandchildren and currently resides in Boston, Massachusetts. KELLY KRAJEWSKI beautifully illustrates the story, bringing a taste of delicacies and delight to the royal theme. She captures the heart of the writer in the way she creates each character. The settings cause the reader to imagine himself or herself being right there. Kelly has two wonderful daughters, Candice and Lacie and a great husband, Dean. She is also blessed with five grandchildren. They reside in New Baltimore, Michigan .
