The book

Gogo and the Forty Thieves

21 chapters, 90 illustrations. Sumner County, ancient Persia, a planet of bird scholars, a jungle world of lizard people, and an emerald big enough to change everything.

It started as bedtime stories, made up on the spot for my own three children. They laughed so loud that telling the story was easy.
