About the Author

John was born into a big Italian/Polish family on Chicago's southwest side. Surrounded by a loving cluster of female relatives, his imagination, creativity and love of art were always celebrated- making him uniquely "Johnnie." As an adult, John appeared to lead a charmed life until things changed drastically in his mid-forties. It was during this murky time that he wrote Teacups and Teddy Bears. It enabled him to rekindle the inner strength, unconditional love and self-acceptance of his childhood. This memory started him on a committed recovery journey of both body and mind. Along the way, he was wholeheartedly encouraged to share his story. This book is the result. It's a simple story for all those kids that march to the beat of a different drummer. Allowing them to see that being different is a very special gift. One that should be celebrated throughout life.
