Booooooooooooo!
October is the month of fall colors, celebrations of all kinds, and of course, Halloween.
Visits
This month has been an exciting month with the much-anticipated rollout of my new book, Harry the Camel. I am so touched by how well-received it is here in Dubai. Kings School was the first school to hear the story and the students were over the top excited. Once again, the positive response to my book was humbling.
I was an invited author at the Victoria English School in Sharjah. I read to the various grades, and then the book’s co-illustrator Yoshita and I did a Q&A. It was my first time in a school in Sharjah and I was so impressed with the school, the students’ behaviour and knowledge, and the commitment and skills of the faculty.

A Moment to Shine!
Favorite tongue twister from Maine.
I saw Susie sitting in a shoe shine shop.
Where she shines, she sits, and where she sits, she shines.
An oldie but a goodie:
A flea and a fly
Flew into a flue
And didn’t know what to do.
Said the flea, “let us fly.”
Said the fly, “let us flea.”
And they flew through a flaw in the flue.
