The Giggles...

There's nothing quite like a child's laugh,
it brightens up the room,
it takes away the emptiness,
and all the gloom and doom.

There's nothing quite like a child's laugh,
it draws you in somehow,
it makes you want to stop and play,
and join in the fun right now!

There's nothing quite like a child's laugh,
it's melody renewing,
it wants you to join in the game,
to stop what you are doing.

There's nothing quite like a child's laugh,
to take away the pain,
it makes you want to hear it,
again, again, again!

'What's Under My Bed?'

Michele and I are teaming up again this year to release another children's book called 'What's Under My Bed?' It seemed such a natural thing to write a poem about because I don't know many children who don't have a fear about something lurking underneath there!! I know I certainly did.

We are hoping that this will be out in time for Halloween, so we finalise everything by the end of June/July '07 so that it will hopefully be in the stores by the beginning of October. We are both very excited about the new title, and hope that children will enjoy this book as much as 'What Would You Be?'

So Far So Good!

Well, so far the sales on the book:- 'What Would You Be" have been wonderful. The interview we had with the Maple Grove/Osseo Press came out last wednesday. I am still trying hard to get the book 'out there' so please, if anyone has any suggestions, feel free to pass them on!
