What a wild and crazy month it has been since A Smiley Book of Colors came out! I’ve put up a show, taken down a show, put up another. I’ve done book signings, spoken at schools (Left: A Smiley made by Smiley 2nd graders after I spoke to their class.) and traveled to N.Y.C.and L.A.. It’s been […]

People were forever asking me how I got to be so darned happy. So I started speaking

You want to be happy? Act happy. You want a life filled with silly? Act silly. You want days filled with music, good food and good friends? Then crank up the music, get busy in the kitchen and text an invitation to your buds! The same is true for if you want a life full […]
Remember the Dr. Pepper song: I’m a pepper, he’s a pepper, she’s a pepper, we’re a pepper, wouldn’t you like to be a pepper too?

“This book, by Ruth Kaiser, is so cute and ingenious. It’s about how it’s your decision what your attitude is like, but it’s written so simply that kids could definitely understand it.” http://jenpeterson.wordpress.com/2012/03/13/the-smiley-book-of-colors/
?How better for the preschooler or early elementary child to learn colors than with a whole bunch of smiles for assistance.
