Chris McGarry is a graduate of Franklin Pierce University. He imagined Ben and Feathers in 1988 during story time with his sons, Chris and Chad, when they said, “Dad, tell us a story about a bird and a bear.” In the early days, Chris and Chad were the two mice who saved Feathers and, in the process, saved Ben. Over the next twenty-six years, he occasionally pulled the handwritten story from the file, thinking he would someday share it with the world.
Today, Chris has two daughters whom he loves dearly, Susan and Sarah. They love the story of Ben and Feathers, and the two mice are now Susan and Sarah. The story contains many life lessons, but the one Chris is most fond of is that you are never too small to make a difference and never too big to change.
He resides in Boca Raton, Florida, and enjoys landscaping, writing, learning, and, most of all, fishing with his daughter.
