The Author

Dr. Linda Spedding
​The Author Dr Linda Spedding creates this charming world of Eenie, the sparkly snail who enjoys wonderful adventures, sights and sounds - despite his very small stature- in a world where right values are illustrated and rhymed as memorable guides for young children. Dr Spedding says, “We live on a beautiful living Planet with the most wonderful forms of life. There is so much to experience, enjoy, see, learn, and share on Planet Earth. Many feel a special joy when we think of our animal friends who accompany us as we grow and live our lives. Some may visit countries to see different animals while others read books or watch programs about animals to find out more. In the Eenie series - the uplifting story of Eenie Meenie Beenie Bo and his special friends - the possibilities to learn and grow in beautiful ways are endless.
