Lyrical dialog and sweet, somehow soothing illustrations bring to life an 800 year old story of fondness and freedom that challenges us to make space for the perspectives of both captor and captive.

The Rich Man and the Parrot
I spent a wonderful day with the children of Pierce Elementary School in Bennington, NH. We had a great time getting to know each other and I had a chance to show the students some of the ins and outs of digital artwork. Along the way we read from 'Princess Caitlin's Tiara' and 'The Adventures of Cali.' I brought along my own Princess Tiara to wear, just (well almost) like Caitlin's, and each child who listened to the story about Cali got to take home a Cali finger puppet. The one that I made is from cardstock, but the one that will be presented when the books come out later this summer will look like the fuzzy one shown here next to Cali's book cover.
I was really impressed with the attention, interest, and teriffic good manners of all the children!

I think most Iraninans know this story as we studied it at school at an early age. It makes me so proud to see this story written in another language so that the knowledge and wisdom is introduced to peoples of other tongues and cultures. It makes me even more proud because the person responsible, is me dear dear school friend Susan.
