The Year of the Ox:
Tales from the Chinese Zodiac
"Miah Alcorn's illustrations are bright and colorful. Each character's personality reflects on each page. Oliver Chin uses Olivia's story to illustrate some of the characteristics of the ox from the Chinese zodiac. The story also teaches children (hard working and dependable) that nobody's perfect and that nobody can be good at everything. It just takes time to discover what one's talents are."

Simultaneously, we wish travelers to the Black Rock Desert well. Enjoy the theme of Fertility 2.0 at Black Rock City (www.burningman.com) and the culminating fire in the sky.
Watch out...Barbara Traub, author of Desert to Dream: A Dozen Years of Burning Man Photography, may be among you taking shots of the spectacular sights.
Then see us at the annual San Francisco Dragon Boat festival on Treasure Island (www.sfdragonboat.com, September 15& 16). This one of our favorite events, especially since this is The Year of the Dragon! Visit our booth and get a limited edition T-shirt of Bo and Dominic.
