Storytime & Author signing with Bonnie Kelso!


Please join me at Barnes & Noble in Henderson, Nevada for a special storytime and book signing. I’ll be reading Wonder of the Woods, published by The Little Press. Reserve a copy now. (702) 434-1533.

A young girl explores the wooded area near her home and encounters a variety of animals that are curious about their new visitor. Tails twitch, bodies ripple, and leaves drift. They watch each other from a safe distance. Could the Wonder of the Woods be YOU? Wonders abound as you explore nature in this lyrical picture book about curiosity and harmony.

I can’t wait to see you there!

Is Your Creative Life Worth Fighting For?

How much time do you spend watching TV? This image appears on page 27 of my book Vitalize Your Creative Life. I stand by this graphic and the message it conveys.
