About Willie Mae Anthony

Allow me to introduce Mrs. Willie Mae Anthony, a published author of several children's books that teach children to draw upon their inner strength to safely cope with the emotional loss of a loved one, overcome common everyday fears, and recognize safe and appropriate touch in her books, "The Dancing Princess," "Penny Penguin," and finally, the long-awaited "The Duck That Was Afraid to Swim."

She is a committed woman of God and to her husband for over 44 years and an armor bearer in the Church of God for over 34 years while simultaneously serving her neighborhood as a well-known community activist. A mother of five, grandmother of twelve, and great-grandmother of three, she still reserves the time to hold an elected official seat as "Council Woman of Berkely Missouri."
