The Background Story
of J Ellington
When my son turned two years old I made a commitment to sit down and read with him every evening. I wanted him to hear the tone of my love for him, through my voice. Listening to my ideas for his future.
I shared with him how to have fun saying, playing, and sounding words. I shared with him how to have fun with his voice, embracing the cadence of our culture and the creativity of our identity. He inspired me to create a world of stories that celebrate the excellence of positive relationships and building daily habits of better mental and behavioral health.
Sincerely,
Art Fuller, Founder
