Grandpa's New Kitty

The first in a series of children's stories featuring the adventures of a boy and his grandfather, Grandpa's New Kitty begins with the search for a long missing cat. The cat's name is Bruce and as Grandpa says, "He's a sweet old kitty, polite and quite mellow, with dark orange stripes and fur that is yellow." Yet, search as they may, Bruce is not to be found and it is only with the help of a musical neighbor that their quest ends with success.

Dancing Crazy
$10.95 ($12.95 Retail)
Children always know when something is wrong in the family. Nothing is as scary to them as not being told what is going on and they need information they can understand. This wonderful story by a special education teacher with many years of experience is written to help parents give their children answers about bipolar disease. It helps them understand that mental illness is no different than cancer or heart disease. It is something to be treated, not a source of shame or something to kept secret.
Written and illustrated by Kathleen Larson.
