Stubb's Blob

TT and I love escaping from our book. Free at last. Hello everyone. Hello kids, are you out there? Short ones, thin ones, any size will do, this blog, kids, is really for you!!
I love making kids giggle. I think this blob is really cool.
My book about going to England with Mrs. Prance is funny too.
I save Pauline Prance from the ravens at the Tower of London. They are mean buggers!
The book is just about finished. I guess about two more chapters. I've enjoyed my travels.
So far Mrs. Prance, TT and I have been to Rome, Italy, and London, England. I'm not sure what trip is next, maybe China, or Ireland. What about the food in China? Who needs chop sticks? Mrs. Prance would love a cake.
A rice cake might be a disapointment.
See you later. I must be present for the last book chapters.
Bye Bye
Stubb

P. S. Mrs. Prance loved the blob experience too.

I Enjoy It Anyway

Yes, I want be published. Stubb wants to meet kids and make them giggle.
"I'll tell them about TT. My Terrible Tummy. TT is the reason I eat too much. Poor me."
Thank you Stubb, I know you have alot to share.

AHAH thought!! It's not the writing destination. It's the writing journey.
What a gift to have the courage to create characters, places, and problems.
This joy of writing bubbles over and ultimately touches others.

Here I Am





I am a writer, teacher, and artist.
I have a masters in education. I have taught primary
students all over the world.

I am a Fulbright scholar. I taught students in the British Primary in England.For two years I lived in Rome, Italy. I taught at the International Academy of Rome.

The Island of Cyprus, offered another interesting teaching experience.
I was a Person to Person Ambassador to Bejing, China. I traveled to China
with educators from all over the United States.

Art From the Heart, is my child centered theater production company.
We do three plays a year. The plays are based on classic children's literature.
Students, their creativty, and learning, have always been interesting to me.


My World Awareness, series of books, evolved from my experiences while teaching and traveling. The main character is Stubb. He is a dog that loves to eat and travel. Mrs.Prance is a fun character that shares his adventures. She also is an eater and a traveler. My first book is Stubb's adventures in Italy. I am almost finished with book two. Stubb and Mrs.Prance visit England. Of course they see the changing of the guard. Mrs.Prance fights with the ravens at the Tower of London.
