Ellen and The Hummingtree has arrived .........

Such excitement when we picked up this large box at the bus station.

Well wrapped by Wynterblue Publishing Canada Inc.

Ellen and The Hummingtree has arrived.

Holding the first copy of "Ellen" hot off the press

I feel a wonderful sense of achievement

and, more than this,

a wonderful sense of anticipation of things to come.

This is the first time that my daughter, Susan, and I have

collaborated on a project such as this one.

I am thrilled that she has created the

wonderful illustrations throughout the book.

What a beautiful cover design!

Thank you,  Susan

Many thanks to Maggie Kirton of Wynterblue Publishing Canada Inc.

for this wonderful gift of a poster

which contains the words of

my narrative poem found at the end of Ellen's story

and also a copy of each of the amazing

illustrations created by Susan and found throughout the book.

As for "Ki" he is not even interested

in all the excitement filling his home today.

He simply wonders why I have forgotten

to fill his dish with food.

Bless his heart, there is mention of "Ki"

in the book but you will find him under the name of "Kris".
