The Fox and the Garbage War
After falling out with Mayor William the Wolf, Francis the Fox comes up with a new ambitious scheme: He'll run for mayor in the next election. The old mayor has lots of support, but as usual, the wily fox will stop at nothing to get his way.
When the fox's shady accomplices get their paws in the election results, everyone's in for a surprise.
The Hermit's Hut
Francis wants his stories to make the world kinder-but people seem to prefer fast-paced fun. Disheartened when his books are ignored and discarded, he leaves town and climbs into the mountains to visit Erasmus, an old friend who lives simply with his goats. Francis builds a small hut nearby, hoping that silence and nature will calm his mind.
Even away from the city, stories still fill Francis's head. Remembering his grandmother's knitting and the tales she told, he begins to knit warm scarves, socks, and mittens-and to tell powerful stories by the fire. Word spreads, and soon people hike up the mountainside bringing yarn, staying to listen, and leaving with warmth in their hands and hearts.
A gentle, hopeful picture book about peace, connection, and how being together can change everything.
Thomas and the Magic Violin
Young violinist Thomas is practicing hard for his music school's spring concert, but one difficult passage just won't cooperate. With the windows open to the warm air, he worries everyone can hear his mistakes-especially the master violinist who lives across the courtyard and plays with breathtaking beauty.
Then, one day, something magical happens: the master's violin answers Thomas from the balcony, and it feels as if the two instruments begin to "talk" across the courtyard. As Thomas listens, learns, and plays along, his confidence grows-until the day the old virtuoso's music suddenly falls silent.
Thomas keeps playing, carrying their shared music forward, and by summer's end he receives a visitor who changes everything again-along with a gift that will help his music soar.
“One person has a limited capacity to influence the life around. Every individual trying to do something good in this world surely finds a particular way for it. Writing children’s books is
my remedy.”
“I trust that any work done for the right reasons and with a warm heart makes a difference. For me the best motivation is to hear from the young readers – and their parents and teachers, doctors, nurses and other helpers – about the influences that good stories have.”
“This might sound naive, but I have always believed that kind words are powerful. To me a good book is something that gives the reader– small or big – a warm hug and encourages overcoming difficult times. It builds bridges between people and emphasizes existing similarities instead of differences.”
