"I Sat Beside an Elephant" carries to the reader a touching look at the simple warmth always hiding in the thoughts of every child everywhere. There's nothing more boring than sitting on a bench alone waiting for the school bus. Minutes all turn into hours and having a test to study for doesn't make the waiting any easier. For some children and one little boy in particular, that long tedious wait is anything but boring. Yes, there is always homework that is not quite finished and a big test waiting at school, but those last precious minutes before the bus arrives are just meant for an adventure. One never knows who or what will turn up before the school bell rings. Written in a light rhyming prose, any child age three to six is sure to enjoy the story within "I Sat Beside an Elephant." The illustrations are hand drawn in colored pencil and add just the right touch of realism to the completely whimsical nature of the story.

The Mouse and the Cuckoo tells the story of one gallant little mouse who insists on reaching out to, and making a friend of, a wooden cuckoo bird. He is rejected and frustrated but never loses his faith, as the bird only responds by chiming the hour with a quick "Coo koo, Coo koo." "When I first began to write The Mouse and the Cuckoo, my goal was to create a story that would serve as a bridge of understanding between autistic children and their parents. As the book developed, I realized that my simple story of a mouse trying to speak with an animated cuckoo clock bird carried a greater message. So many children are trapped within their physical shell. These are kids with Autism, Down Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy and dozens of other adversities. And, like my little cuckoo bird, each has a song in their heart." Keith Lawrence Roman

I Woke Up In a Tree

Children are often transported while sleeping and wake up in unknown surroundings such as their grandparents' home or the seat of a car. When one little girl falls asleep while playing outside, she wakes up cradled in the branches of a tall tree. How did she get there? That's what she would like to know, as she shares with young readers a wild variety of ways she might have gotten into such a ridiculous predicament. I Woke Up In a Tree teaches children to be creative and that the possibilities life offers are exciting and endless. The rhyming story by Keith Lawrence Roman is perfectly matched to wildly imaginative illustrations by Scottish children's book illustrator, Charlotte Rae Hogg.
