Meet the Inspiration:
The playful star of Gator Gray Gets Away is inspired by Grayson, the author’s adorable grandson who has a knack for doing things his own way.
Called “Gray” by his family, this determined little guy kept everyone guessing by refusing to take his first steps until he was 16 months old—despite his parents’ best efforts! Once he decided to walk, though, there was no stopping him, and now he runs everywhere he goes, chasing his brothers and keeping up with all the fun.
Gray’s favorite companion is his trusty Binky, complete with a little stuffed gator on the end—a detail that brought Gator Gray to life. His cheeky grin, adventurous spirit, and stubborn determination make him the perfect inspiration for this hilarious and heartwarming tale. Through Gray’s journey, readers are reminded that every milestone is worth celebrating, and sometimes the best adventures come from doing things in your own time.
