The Ten Leopards

Everyone knows that there is nothing a leopard loves more than his spots. But what happens when he sneezes them all off? Told in sweet, rhyming verse, this imaginative retelling of the healing of the ten lepers puts a fresh spin on a Bible favorite.

The Rich Camel

Available now for pre-order

Coming out on 11 April 2023.

Camelot is a Camel with quite a ‘flair for fashion,’ and he loves his fancy clothes. But when Jesus challenges him to give them up in order to follow him, can he do it? He loves Jesus and wants to go, but “who will I be without them?” he wonders. This fun and imaginative retelling of “The Rich Young Man” puts a fresh spin on the bible favorite.

In honor of Thanksgiving, I am sharing my poem, "Making Pies." Making Pies was and still is one of my favorite things to do around Thanksgiving time. 

 

Making Pies

 

Little girls donning aprons

Helping Knot each other's ties

Giggling with excitement

For today we're making pies!

 

Fetch the shortening and the sugar

Dip into the flour bin

Chatter as we measure

Then pull out the rolling pin

 

Oh what fun to roll the dough

And flute the crusts just so

But best of all should you querry

Is the chance to snitch the huckleberries.
