Nancy was an elementary school music teacher in her early career. She became an artist only two years before becoming blind and only became an author after losing her sight. As a blind person, she now depends on friends and family for lots of help. Hopefully her books and paintings will give inspiration to anyone who struggles with disabilities.
The story of Topsey parallels some events in the author's life. In this book we have the Rockin Turtles Band. Nancy became an artist only two years before becoming blind, so in this book Topsey is blind when he learns to paint.

About the book:
Topsey loses his vision, and you might think he cannot survive in his under-sea world because of the many dangers that face him.
Another character, Tivey, is a turtle who was born without his front flippers, so how could he survive without being able to swim? Angler fish was born with an extra set of teeth! This makes her a very slow swimmer. Find out why these teeth are special in this story. Stingray was born without a stinger at the end of her tail. How can she defend herself?
The undersea community uses creative ways to assist these handicapped characters and help them have good lives. This endearing story will make you smile, and it might bring tears to your eyes.
It's a book for ALL ages to enjoy!
