A New Journey: We Are We

2011-06-21T13:16:00.000-07:00

After my literary journey to Africa when I wrote my award-winning picture book manuscript, Starry Kalahari, I decided to branch out and take a journey to five new beautiful locations around the globe. This multicultural journey takes plance in my newest picture book manuscript, We Are We.

We Are We is a 100-word multicultural and multilingual picture book manuscript targeted for children ages 3-5.

I contacted Professor Simon Bearder at Oxford Brookes University in the UK who is one of the worlds leading authorities on nocturnal primates. I asked if he would mind reviewing Starry Kalahari for accuracy and he graciously agreed. I can't thank him enough for his review:

"You have clearly researched each species and it all seems quite accurate. I look forward to seeing the finished product. It evokes a feeling of the night in the Kalahari - wonderful!"
