Sneak peek on fire..

“There may be a great fire in our hearts, yet no one ever comes to warm himself at it, and the passers-by see only a wisp of smoke..”

I am honored to have the opportunity to work with the talented Gladys Elizabeth Barbieri on her wonderful new book!

It has been an amazing journey to collaborate on “Rubber Shoes” with her, and my admiration to her extended from her beautiful stories, to what a fantastic, positive and interesting person she is.

I will keep the secret of the story for now.

But all I can say that there will be fire, fighters, and real friendships.

Gold Medal Winner, Spanish Language Book 2011!

I am ecstatic to announce that “Rubber Shoes…A Lesson in Gratitude/Los zapatos de goma…Una Lección de Gratitud ” has just been awarded A Moonbeam Children’s Book Award for best Spanish language book.

Thank you for your continued support and good wishes!

The Moonbeam Children’s Book Awards are intended to bring increased recognition to exemplary children’s books and their creators, and to celebrate children’s books and life-long reading. Each year’s entries are judged by expert panels of youth educators, librarians, booksellers, and book reviewers of all ages. Award recipients receive gold, silver and bronze medals and stickers depicting a mother and child reading and silhouetted by a full moon.

Many of our award-winning books encourage children to be generous and compassionate, to stand up to bullies, and to believe in fulfilling their dreams. The diversity of the winning publishers proves that promoting childhood literacy knows no boundaries, as medal-winners came not only from long-established publishers and university presses, but from small presses, foundations, and self-published entrepreneurs.

“Rubber Shoes…A Lesson in Gratitude/Los zapatos de goma…Una Lección de Gratitud ” was also mentioned on the Bilingual Shelf in the MidWest Review!

You can get your copy of the book here.

Do animals sleep ?

LinaSafar — Thu, 14 Apr 2011 06:07:27 +0000

“The Animals Sleep” is a beautiful bedtime story by Thomas Heffron & illustrated by Lina Safar, to be published soon from the American Society of Sleep Medicine ASSM.

The book is part of a new educational campaign that will inform kids about sleep and healthy sleep habits. Along with picture books, ASSM are developing lesson plans and resources for teachers to use in the classroom.

The idea behind this book is that it will use children’s love for animals as a hook to get them thinking about sleep, while the content also will easily cross over into science lessons.

Each spread describes a different biome or ecosystem where various animals live and sleep. So while each spread shows some sleeping animals, a major emphasis is on showing the variety and diversity of the nature landscapes.

The book was published in June 2011, and now you can order your copy here : on the ASSM official website and on Amazon !
