What sane woman walks away from a life of luxury and takes to the road at the age of sixty? Intrepid senior adventurer Gillybean did just that. She set off to explore South America.

Except it didn't quite work out that way. After accidentally booking a flight East instead of West, Gillybean found herself teaching English at a nursery school in Southern China.

Within a couple of weeks she had acquired a hot young flatmate, an international circle of friends and discovered the best sushi bar in town.

Deep fried cockroaches, dancing the cha-cha under the stars and backpacking up the Li River were the mildest of her experiences.

Throw in some miscommunication and a few bizarre cultural customs and you have the recipe for an exciting, and often hilarious, journey to China.

Gillybean in China is the first book in a series about Gillybean's adventures around the world.

Terrific seasonal book that can be read year-round
Format: Hardcover
I always love a seasonal book that can be read year-round, and much like Sweep, Little Tree is a wonderful fall book that isn’t so fall-themed it can only be read in September and October. A story of change, growing up, and letting go, a story of encouraging friends through words, presence, and patience, Little Tree will please children and adults alike! Ages 5-8.

So simple, yet so emotional.
Format: Hardcover
I bought this book initially because the author/illustrator is from my hometown, and because he is one of the best illustrators on the planet. I thought it would be cute - and it is adorable, but it really hits home. I am a mom who has a young adult child and one teenager. The time is quickly approaching when they will leave the nest and the story of the little tree holding tightly to his leaves just brought me to tears. It is a precious book and fitting for little children and adults alike.

This book is wonderful!!
Format: Hardcover
This book is wonderful!!! It discusses about the fear of letting go and how that can prevent one from growing and moving forward. Even adults can take away meaning from this book. I have bought this for a gift for a couple of friends' childrens and recommended to some teachers. Definitely worth adding to your child's personal library collection or to the classrooms.

Cute story with great illustration.
Format: Hardcover
We bought this book in 2015 for our 3 and 5 year old children. They still request it from time to time. It is a cute tale that is memorable with great art that the kids love.
