AND SPEAKING OF LITERACY...

I'm thrilled and honored ONE FROG SANG, written by Shirley Parenteau and illustrated by moi, will be included in the new RAISING READERS http://www.raisingreaders.org/ anthology published by CANDLEWICK PRESS. What a wonderful PUSH to get the education of Maine kids on the right track. 1.3 million books have already been given to Maine kids. Warm thanks goes out to my publisher CANDLEWICK, the LIBRA FOUNDATION http://librafoundation.org/ ,CURIOUS CITY http://visitcuriouscity.wordpress.com and all the WICKED AWESOME caregivers for giving Maine kids the wonder and friendship of a new book.
