  This exciting tale tells of the seven-year-old "man-cub" Mowgli, raised by wolves in the Indian jungle, who is kidnapped by the Bandar-log ("Monkey People) and hauled though the tree-tops to their retreat in the 'Cold Lairs'. Bagheera the leopard and Baloo the bear cannot follow so they find Kaa, the huge python and persuade him to help rescue him. Using his wits and the Master Words that introduce him to other species as a friend, Mowgli survives until his friends can reach him. When Kaa and Bagheera arrive the monkeys throw Mowgli into an abandoned house inhabited by cobras, whereupon Mowgli hastily uses the snakes' Master Word to prevent them from striking. When Baloo and Bagheera arrive, a furious battle ensues where they are close to defeat until Kaa arrives to hypnotize the Bandar-log into submission. As I said, this is an exciting and fun story told in the unique style of Kipling.

  “The Ornaments” is a children’s story inspired by a unique and wonderful gift store tucked away on a side street in New York City.  That store, “Domus,” is owned by two caring individuals, Nicki and Luisa, who are featured in the book.  After the holidays each year, Nicki and Luisa travel the world, often meeting with craftspeople, artists, and especially women in business. Their travels frequently take them to tiny villages in Europe, Africa, and Asia.  When they return with their curated wonders, the shop becomes a “United Nations of Gifts!”  Entering “Domus,” you walk under a large willow branch that spreads across the shop’s entire ceiling.  From this spreading branch hang dozens of enchanting and charming ornaments that move in a breeze like a Calder mobile.  Creating a story for these ornaments was irresistible since the store is so story-like.  
“The Ornaments” is a story for children and adults, and its message of empathy, inclusion, and community is so urgent in today’s world.
