A sister and brother team
In 2015, Ann's husband, Pat, bought an old faded little boat, not much more than a rowboat with a motor. Ann had no interest in the boat until one day Pat convinced her to go for a cruise. Out on a coastal creek, she discovered the water was pure magic. Ann was hooked! Always the storyteller, she began making up stories about the little boat with a big heart. She then teamed up with her brother Steve to bring Scoot to life.
Scoot's adventures are written on Hilton Head Island by Ann, and the illustrations are painted in Louisville, Kentucky by Steve. This brother and sister have the best time ever creating stories about Scoot!
