The Epic Adventures of Whiz Grass and Poot Berry
As you should have guessed by the title, this is not the standard bedtime story with a princess and a prince and an evil stepparent and some sort of magic spell. Not one castle, nor trolls, not even an enchanted forest is tucked with loving care into this bedtime story. To be totally honest about the whole shebang, it's not so much a bedtime story as a bedtime epic event. An explanation may be in order right about now. There are 30 Adventures in this saga, to be read in order as bedtime stories. No skipping around, mind you, because it will make even less sense if you do that, so when you get to the Temple of the Belchmonkeys and your mind is not totally prepared for it, well, that's a whole different bucket of pickles altogether. And you could rip through more than one story in a night, but that might just make your kids loopy. 30 Adventures, 30 nights, so you're pretty much covered for a month. Now, somebody's going to screech that some months have 31 days (thanks, May and October and you other troublemakers for screwing this up) and so you have a day left over. And there's some real hollering going on about the February problem, and how if you read this story during that month, even during a leap year, you still have extra story left over. The thing is, the story is 30 nights long because it's a nice round number (unlike 31, which is prime, for crying out loud) and that's how long the story takes to tell. So there. The important idea is that this is an interactive story. Not a passive story where your kid lays there like an unfortunate lump on the mattress and you yammer on until you bore the poor child to sleep. This story has a narrator reading the action lines (that's you, sport). There are also 21 different voices in the tale, all of which you'll have fun doing. Even better, let your child read along and read a voice or two. The full list of voices is on the next few pages, plus what we think they sound like, although you can change them pretty much any way you want. It's not like we're keeping score. Also, you will find action lines sprinkled throughout. You'll recognize these because they're in italics so they look like they're in motion, hence we call them action lines and they instruct you or your offspring to do certain things. Be nice and gentle, since you'll have to start a pillow fight in Adventure 1. Remember, you're bigger. Play nice.

Thank you so much for ... sharing your stories with us. You have made today very special for our entire school. May God bless you!" - Eileen O'Neill, Principal, St. Mary's School, Canandaigua, NY "...The reason I really, really loved your story is because my Grandma and Grandpa came from Ireland." - Kaiti Brennan, Fyle School, Henrietta, NY "... The presentation was great. ... I like the kids yodeling ... I saw that Emmy sold the flowers." - Zach Eriksine, Fyle School, Henrietta, NY "...I've heard Doris tell many of her 'Emmy tales.' They transport us to the early 1900s through the eyes of a young immigrant girl. Some stories are sweet, others just plain fun..." - Carolyn Coit Dancy, Storyteller, Pittsford, NY
Let’s Get This Straight
Let's Get This Straight reaches out to young people with one or more gay, lesbian, bi, or trans parents to provide them with the tools to combat homophobia, take pride in their alternative family structures, and speak out against injustice. This short but thorough book profiles forty-five diverse youth and young adults, all of whom voice their opinions and provide advice for other youth living in LGBTQ households. Let's Get This Straight also includes probing questions, fun activities, engaging quizzes, and reflective journal sections for youth to share their feelings and experiences about having a gay parent. By reading this book, readers will learn how to: identify and overcome barriers to having a gay parent; address discrimination and heterosexism; build a strong self-esteem and sense of belonging; communicate effectively with their parents and individuals outside of the LGBTQ community; access resources and support for their families; respond effectively when challenged about being in a sexual minority family; and reduce the isolation, fear, shame, and confusion that can be associated with having gay parents. As the media brings ever-increasing exposure to gay-headed households, this book is more important than ever. Let's Get This Straight is the perfect blend of wit, sharing of experiences, and "expert" advice that children with LGBTQ parents need to become more self-aware and affirming, and to maintain healthy relationships with their parents.
