ANDREW'S WISH

Written by Jason M. Leen and Jan A. Klyce

Illustrated by Gary Lund


Jason M. Leen had loved poetry since he was a child. One morning, a story poem followed him from a dream. Jason quickly captured the poem on paper, then added a small drawing of the main character, a young reindeer named Andrew. Andrew then slept in a wooden cabinet for more than two years, waiting for just the right moment when he could tell his story to the world. Jason feels that moment has arrived, and that Andrew is destined to touch our hearts in a very special way as he fulfills his wish.


Jan A. Klyce, as president of J & J Publishing, realized in an early review that the story of Andrew's journey was incomplete. With Jason's understanding and appreciation, she began to collaborate by adding essential passages throughout the book, allowing Andrew to tell his full story in a truly delightful manner. Jan's attention to nourishing the heart has been acompanied by a twenty year background in both production and management of fine art, which assisted her in every aspect and detail of the book layout, color, and design.
