This is where people gather to hear stories, where mothers children, fathers sit in the shade and listen to tales that make them laugh, shiver and rejoice. Join me under the story tree and listen.

Children's Books

David Get His Drum

Published by Marshall Cavendish Co. Co-written with Jazz Great, the late Panama Francis and illustrated by award-winning artist, Eric Velasquez. This is a story about a child learning to understand the magic that flows from his heart and hands - The magic of music.

As Panama Francis said, "I am a drummer man. For seventy years I have beat out that dancing sound for people to hear... Every time I see folks smile and tap their feet to the rhythm, I feel as happy as I did on the day I first beat a pair of sticks on an old tin can."
