Olaleye, Isaac

Isaac, who is a graduate of the Institute of Transport, London, has worked at a variety of jobs: from housepainting to airline ticket sales agent to clerk at the Department of Prosecutions, Nigeria, to free-lance writer. He has published an adult nonfiction book, Did God Make Them Black? and has sold four children's books to Boyds Mills Press. In addition to reading, he enjoys jogging, photography, and playing soccer.Who am I? "Lately I've been reading, writing, and thinking children's stories a lot. I have, in the process, discovered something unique: any book I can't read in five to ten minutes is verbose. The exception to that, of course, would be a contract to publish a children's story of abiding interest."
