Now available: Little Calabash, published by Island Heritage Publishing, and illustrated by Anneth Lagamo.
About the book: "It seems as if everyone in the kitchen has an important job to do—everyone except for Little Calabash. But, even though he's little, he wants to be a big help, too!"

Now in its second printing, I'm so pleased with the welcome given to Calvin Gets the Last Word, illustrated by Mike Deas, from Tilbury House (distributed by W. W. Norton).
Calvin’s dictionary is proud to go wherever Calvin goes — the breakfast table, school, baseball practice, and home again — helping Calvin search for the perfect word to describe his super-annoying older brother. After looking all day, Calvin finally finds the word he’s looking for at bedtime. And when he does, the dictionary is as surprised as you will be.
I know you're going to love reading this picture book!

Margo's Hawaiian name, Leipua'ala (lasting gifts for children), given to her by a Hawaiian family friend, means a great deal to her. |
|
|
|
|
|
That friend presented his explanation of my name in this way: "The lei represents the books you create which are gifts for the younger generation. The pua are all the children to whom you dedicate your work. And the fragrance or 'ala is the lasting imagery from your books the children will take with them into adulthood." |
