| Publisher Description: In Book 3, Henry the Tulip Bulb has learned some French and has a new beret so he's ready to visit Paris and Egypt with his friends, The Boa Sisters But in the excitement of getting to the cruise ship, poor Henry is left behind. When the kindly cab driver realizes Henry has missed the ship, he takes him home to keep him safe and sound. Though he's treated well, he misses his friends and is sad that he's missed the trip of a lifetime. But when Emily, the cabbie's daughter takes Henry to school where he's asked to share his French and knowledge with the children, he finds that maybe having an "attitude of gratitude" will help him and help them, too. Sometimes things happen for reasons we don't understand - even to tulip bulbs - and we get other good things instead. Read along with Henry and learn exciting things about Henry, friendship, and some of the most wonderful places in the world. |
Contributor Bio(s): Brandt, Linda M.: - Having drawn since the age of four, author-artist Linda M Brandt landed her first professional job, illustrating political cartoons at the age of nineteen. Her work has been displayed in prestigious venues such as The Louvre, Radio City (NY), Christ Episcopal Church, Haven Hospice, and various U.S. galleries. Many of her paintings are held in private collections around the world including the home of late President Ronald Reagan and past Ohio governor, George Voinovich. Linda is the only known survivor of a particularly rare and serious brain tumor. Following surgery to remove the tumor, she contracted spinal meningitis and spent two months in hospital critical care. It was during that time, while inside an MRI chamber, that Linda had the neardeath experience of which she writes in Throw Jonah from the Boat: My Journey Into the Belly of the Whale. With God's help and with the prayers and love of her family and friend, Linda spent the next three years learning to walk again, to drive again, and at last, to paint again. Collectors of her paintings believe her work is even more inspirational and dramatic than before as she emphasizes triumph over tragedy through her art. Linda's speaking engagements relate her experiences and how gratitude can affect a person's wellbeing, both now and in the hereafter. |
