Leslie (Author) is the mother of one handsome sons, ages 21 and 15 
       and a beautiful 19 year old daughter.  Her dear friend and business partner Liz Koppinger (Editor) is the mother of a
 rambunctious 4 year old daughter. 

Teaching our children in the world today can sure be a busy job.
It can be easy to lean towards electronics to
entertain those little ones in our lives.

    But there is nothing more wonderful and timeless then the tradition of reading a book to a child. It is a magical feeling to see them learning to read and wanting to learn because of 
how you read a story to them.

With colorful illustrations that capture one's imagination 
along with a story that is fun and educational,
 our book is an awesome experience for all ages.

  We are proud to present
 "I’m a Manatee Happy to be ME!"
     You will fall in love with this
beautifully illustrated board book.

 We are proud and honored to have recently been 
accepted in to the Florida's Sea World parks. 
We look forward to the many lives our special
    manatee book will touch and smiles it will bring.

  PURPLE DRAGONFLY CONTEST

New local author WOWs BORDERS Book Store with record attendance & book purchases at her debut book signing events in 2011.

Leslie Campa along with her partner Liz Koppinger, have self-published the most amazing children's board book we have seen in a long time. Filled with fun displays of watercolor illustrations, the message is quite clear, "I'm a Manatee Happy to be ME! inspires originality with a splash of magic. 

"It has been my pleasure to work with Leslie Campa over the past few months to prepare for and successfully execute the release of her new children’s book, I’m a Manatee Happy to be ME! 

I have hosted events with hundreds of authors over the years and dozens of first-time, self-published local authors. None of them has brought more enthusiasm and preparation to the table than Leslie. Children and parents alike were drawn to the Author immediately. 
Her guerilla marketing campaign for this
 event was thorough and effective. The resultant sales generated from her efforts ensure that we will invite her back many times.
