Anthony J. Soluri

Anthony J. Soluri grew up on Long Island, N.Y., in a little hamlet called Copiague. Thirty-six years ago, his first child was born. As he watched kids walk around with a blanket that made them feel safe, he noticed it dragged on the floor and got dirty. The first thought his mind had was, "That's not sanitary." That's when he sat down, drew three characters and called them "Warm Friends." Back then, he was going to make them into stuffed animals that warmed up to give a sense of security to his son, but he never proceeded with that. Thirty-six years later and with three grandchildren, Anthony decided to turn "Warm Friends" into a children's book. The "Warm Friends" will help people in need.

Their warm glow will make the people feel safe and guide them to their destination. They're warm, friendly, and helpful. Hope you and your children enjoy this book.
