SUPER GRANDPA RIDES AGAIN!!!
At long last, a beloved book returns. . . this time with audio CD!


Dear reading friends,

I am thrilled to announce that my book Super Grandpa (formerly Supergrandpa) is back in print. If you liked the orginal, you'll love the new Super Grandpa. It has been revised (slightly), it has a dramatic new cover, and -- best of all -- it comes with an audio CD of me reading the story. Please read on for more information about the book and how to get signed copies.

The New, Improved Super Grandpa

Super Grandpa is the true story of a 66-year old grandfather who won the hearts of his Swedish countrymen by riding his bicycle more than 1,000 miles in the Tour of Sweden -- and finishing first! More than 50 years later, he is still remembered in Sweden. Gustaf's intergenerational tale holds timeless messages about the need for perseverance, the scourge of discrimination and the value of pursuing one's dream.

Gustaf rode out of sight six years ago when the original publisher was sold. I have found a new publisher, Tortuga Press, which has done a splendid job of producing an edition of Super Grandpa even more beautiful than the original.

Super Grandpa now includes an audio CD featuring me reading the story, with sound effects and Swedish music in the background. The CD is the perfect accompaniment to this heartwarming story.

"Destined to be a classic children's book." --UPI Arts & Entertainment

"The crisp language and compelling pictures will keep [readers] involved in this heart-warming tale." --School Library Journal

"The audio CD is a model of just what a recorded children's book should be. I am so glad this truly wonderful book is back in print." --Daniel L. Darigan, co-author, Children's Literature: Engaging Teachers and Children in Good Reading (Prentice Hall)

“This timeless, meaningful tale will delight listeners and should be considered an essential purchase.” --School Library Journal (multimedia review)
