I'm wondering about the corporate financial review that caused my book distributor to send me a cheque for $5.80 in payment of a book they sold (resumably for Iguana) in Britain on April 15, 2015.

The wait is over! Now you can enjoy all five of Maria DaVenza Tillmanns' books for young readers in one volume. FROM TAILS TO TALES gathers together the adventures of Huk and Tuk, charming best friends who draw on stories and storytelling as a way to connect with each other and the world. By discussing stories (tales, if you like), Huk and Tuk recreate that deeper understanding of themselves, each other and the world that's essential for feeling connected. Although the tales they discuss may seem simple, the complex questions they raise make them rewarding for adults and children to ponder together. Readers of all ages will enjoy this series, which springs from Tillmanns' work in philosophy for young people.

For purchase links and more information about the series, visit Maria's page on our website: https://www.iguanabooks.ca/books/from-tails-to-tales

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Maria teaches a “Philosophy with Children” program in underserved San Diego schools in partnership with the University of California, San Diego. In 1980, she attended Dr. Matthew Lipman’s workshop on philosophy for children and later wrote her dissertation on philosophical counselling and teaching under the direction of Martin Buber scholar Dr. Maurice Friedman. She has publications in a number of international journals.

For Maria, philosophy is an art form, and she enjoys painting with ideas. Philosophy has helped her navigate the world in all its complexity, including having a multicultural background and having been raised in the US as well as in the Netherlands. She came back to the US to study and moved across the Atlantic multiple times.

My coffee mug just beeped at me?

Something near my left hand did, and it wasn't the Scotch tape or the scissors or the magnifying glass.

Publishing: whatever can go wrong will at some point, right? This one just made me giggle.

This is reliable old Barnes and Noble messing up, not the usual Amazon and Chapters/Indigo.

Ragini Werner, don't worry -- Cheryl's already getting it fixed.
