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)
