If I find something good when I am shopping, I can hardly wait to tell everyone I know. Today I need to tell you about
Damien And The Dragon Kite (click on link to buy).
My husband and I walked to Saturday Market here in Hillsboro this morning. Usually I buy vegetable but today I came home with a beautiful little book written by Raymond Macalino called
Damien and the Dragon Kite. Macalino was reading the book aloud to a young family. Of course you know I am but a child at heart so there I was, standing and listening. I loved the message and simplicity of the book.

The real Damien also sold a books at the market
but he was sold out. Darn! |
Macalino is from the Phillipines where a kite festivals are celebrated each year. Damien is his little boy and actually looks a lot like the illustrations in the book. It is beautifully illustrated by Andras Balogh so that Macalino's stories comes to life magically. I was a teacher of small children for many years so you need to trust me when I tell you...
you are going to love this one!

I lve children's books, and (happily) have many children to receive them. Thanks for the tip. BTW, the book is available on Amazon. You might want to stop by and leave a review.
