Naming and Choosing a character

Many people ask me why I chose a Koala Bear and why did I name him Keiko?
The Koala bear is special to me because when I was a little girl, probably in the 1st and 2nd grade, I hated going to school because I missed being home with my mom.  I would cry every morning and there is even a story my mom loves to tell, which I will share with you.

Dear Parents and Grandparents...Welcome to Keiko's blog. Keiko the Koala was born out of my love for writing and my love of children. I wanted to develop a story for children with a character that was unique, comforting, loving and wise,
