  Sandals Or A Suit - Lore For...

  I’m Reid Genauer, singer, songwriter, storyteller. What follows is a collection of children's stories called "Sandals or A Suit" —a collection of whimsical poems that sprung from my adventures as curious kid and later as a dad to three spirited children of my own. 
  As a musician in folk rock outfits Strangefolk and Assembly of Dust I’ve spent years cultivating, crafting on occasion cracking the code on a catalogue of songs for some 3 decades. And in the delightful chaos of fatherhood I've found a treasure trove of inspiration of another sort. These poems are not unlike songs, they're lighthearted lore for little folk. Little time capsules of the wonder born of waddling through the mischief of childhood—echoes of the eternal debate of sandals versus a suit to the wincing thrill of yanking a tooth with a length of string tied to a door (true story). 
  Each piece is a snapshot of laughter, the expression of imaginings and a chance to balloon into a world where every corner is an adventure waiting like a bullfrog bouncing into boggy soggy great beyond. These are but a few chapters in an endless escapade of stories I made up as bedtime ramblings for my kids. They are a landscape of sorts where whimsy reigns and the spirit of childhood dances afoot for people of all ages, happily ever after. 
  Lets Conspire To Smile Folks

  Melia is spellbound by the stuffed wildcat in her family's living room—her cousin swears that it comes to life and roams the streets at night. When she finds a signed note from the animal with secret instructions, a thrilling and dangerous adventure begins. 
   
   
   
  For Melia and her sister Myrto, summer means a break from Grandfather's history lessons and weeks of running free at the seaside with their ragtag group of friends. Best of all, cousin Nikos will visit and tell his fabulous stories about the taxidermied wildcat, which opens its blue glass eye when it wants to do good deeds and its black one when it makes trouble. The black eye must be open lately because all the adults have been acting strangely, arguing about politics and fearful of the police. Soon even the children are divided—who can Melia trust? And can the wildcat help keep her family safe? 
   
   
   
  Set in Greece during the 1930s, when the nation was torn apart by fascism, The Wildcat Behind Glass is an unforgettable tale of family, humanity, and what it means to be free. From its 1963 release to the dozens of international editions and honors that followed, including a Mildred L. Batchelder Award, the novel has enchanted generations of young listeners. Now, a fresh English translation—the first in over fifty years—breathes new life into the timeless story.
