Angelenos,
Mira Tweti, a wonderful writer whose work I came to know from a stunning piece she wrote for the Los Angeles Times Magazine on the plight of captive parrots, has a children's book coming out. "Here There and Everywhere' tells the story of a parrot named Screeeeeeeet." The story deals with difficult issues in a manner entertaining to people of all ages. It is beautifully illustrated by Lisa Brady. The book has been passionately endorsed by Jane Goodall and others.
Tomorrow, Sunday December 16, is the book launch party, at Santa Monica's famous Bergamot Station art center. And we're all invited!
You can learn more about the book and the party, and read some of the endorsements, at
