Michael Sandifer is a 3rd grade teacher in California and lives with his wife and two children. Being a teacher, he always wanted to write a children’s book with the character’s he uses in his classroom. It wasn’t until recently, during the drama with the Los Angeles Clippers basketball team that he figured out the message that his characters were meant for. The message is that diversity is a celebration, and should be frequently taught to children so we never have a similar problem that the Clippers players went through for anyone again.
