Jamina and Kaaren liked to be prepared for everything…ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING!! But nothing could have prepared them for the adventures, and misadventures, that took place when a caterpillar hitched a ride with them to a kirtan.

Herman’s Journey is a true story about two friends and a caterpillar. I have illustrated and Jamina Carder and I have co-written this children’s book based on an event that took place in the spring of 2008. The book is now in print and available for purchase. You can find copies at Davis-Kidd Booksellers* and Whole Body in Nashville, Green Wagon, Fairytales Bookstore and Art & Invention Gallery in East Nashville, and of course, at www.hermansjourney.com.

• HERMAN was a best seller at Davis-Kidd. In fact, Herman made a new record: selling the most copies of a book during a book reading event! We are thrilled, and most grateful to Davis-Kidd, Fairytales and Whole Body, who’ve allowed us to come in and hold book readings along with music, singing, dancing and DRUMMING!

We’re looking forward to our Green Wagon event on Sunday, February 14, 2010 from 1-3 pm.

Then we’re headed to Chattanooga on the 19th to do book readings and signings. We’ll host Story Time at Rock Point Books on Saturday the 20th from 11:00 til 12:00, and then we’ll be signing books at New Moon gallery Saturday and or Sunday. Check the website for more details…
