“Regionally Speaking” host Chris Nolte recently spoke with Mark Edward Wilows, a published author, actor and producer who co-wrote the new children’s book "Silas and Sophie" with Travis Joseph Ziegler. It is the heartwarming story of friendship about a boy and his dog.
Wilows, grew up in Chicago's Roseland neighborhood, is a resident of Cedar Lake. Co-writer Ziegler hails from Hebron, where he grew up on a farm. The book's illustrator is Emily Krebaum, who lives in a suburb of Chicago.
Through this book Wilows hopes kids will develop a real joy of reading. Wilows offers “This is something that I have always wanted to do. I feel children's books are a lost art since I was a kid. I want to bring back family time."
"Silas and Sophie" is available through Barnes and Noble.
