“Rabbit’s Song is an imaginative children’s book written in the style of a folktale…Vivid color illustrations (of a bright green rabbit, a red coyote, and their brown and deep blue avian friends) help draw young readers into this adventurous, magical fable.” – Midwest Book Review

I am beyond excited!!!

Help a starving artist, please?

As many of you know, I was severely injured in January. I am doing much better now and am up and about, but I still have a long way to go until I am back to 100%. Because of this I have had to cancel most of my Spring appearances for the year. I am also not actively booking any events until the 2009/2010 school year begins in the fall.

This has effectively left me with no way to promote my newest book, “Rabbit’s Song” by SJ Tucker and Trudy Herring , which I had the great honor of illustrating. A good portion of my income for the last several years has been derived from these spring and summer shows.

That is why I need your help.

It won’t cost you anything, just a moment of your time. (Unless you want to get one of the books for yourself, which I will be happy to accommodate!)

How can you help? Tell your friends and neighbors with kids about the book. Link to the publisher’s web site http://magicalchildbooks.com or visit one of the on-line booksellers. Ask your librarian to purchase the book. Tell your kid’s teachers about the books and the wonderful curriculum based teaching guides on the publisher’s web site. Just help me spread the word.

With your help, I will be able to generate enough income to pay off some of the medical bills that are starting to clog my mailbox. Even with insurance the $$ are mounting. Thank you so much!!!

I've been interviewed!!!!
