About
A unique and fun gift book for Mothers and their children!
If Mom Were President, she’d set things straight, she would battle for causes just…
She’d teach the whole country how to share. She’d restore the public’s trust.
She would give every enemy a time-out in the corner until they saw how they’d been at fault.
She’d balance the budget with change left to spare for an ice cream cone and a malt…
That is how I began my Mother’s Day gift poem back in 1992. I’d been writing poetry since I was a child - not literary poetry, mind you, mostly Dr. Seussish, Shel Silverstein, type of stuff. Accessible to most, or so I believe.

Read the entire poem, If Mom Were President, here. |
The poem was a hit with my mom (of course - thank God for Moms), my wife, and apparently many others, as it has been recited on radio, in print, and numerous other places.
In 2004 I was busy completing work on an IT career book (published by Cisco Press in 2005). I was reading a children’s picture book my daughter, Sara. The rhyming cadence made me think of, If Mom Were President.
I thought, “An illustrated book version of this would be really cool.” After several false starts, and publishing deal that taught me a lot more about the publishing world than I cared to know, I am releasing, If Mom Were President, as both a narrated video and as a book.
My daughter, Sara, did the narration. That was fun and is the second time she has narrated or done voice work for me. She also did a commercial in California.
