Oklahoma authors Hudson and Lemmons teamed up to reissue a popular title, first appearing in 2005.  The story is one popular with people of all ages since so many children participated in the original event and can't wait to share memories with children and grandchildren. In addition, elephants are one of the most popular animals in any animal sanctuary or zoological program. There is an almost instant kinship with the marvelous animals that keeps people coming back.

 

Readers had good things to say about the story:

 

"An inspiring read." Megan Miles Alba, Educator

"A Must have for any library collection on Oklahoma."  Rosemary Czarski, Librarian

"A fun read for all ages." Bonnie Smith, Educator

 

Lemmons added the whimsical illustrations with delight because she was one of those plucky "Judy's Kids" who raised money for Judy the elephant!  The authors hope to build a program around the events and visit libraries and schools in the state in 2015.

Whorl Books will make the work available in early fall of 2014.

New Novel Coming Soon

Norman author Marilyn A. Hudson announces the soon to be published novel "Foul Harvest."  A serial killer and a girl from the streets are on a collision course.  What happens when a killer who has lost all respect for human life confronts a girl who has nothing left to loose?  The work is due out mid-fall from Whorl Books.

 

"Haunting" and "Insightful" say readers.

"Scream if you must" because "no one is coming to your rescue."

Readers Spark New Trend

The book launch for STORIES CENTER STAGE: A HISTORY OF STORYTELLING IN MODERN OKLAHOMA was held at the Annual Spirit of Oklahoma Storytelling Festival held this year in Bethany on the campus of Southern Nazarene University.  The perfect venue to launch the book as storytellers and audiences flowed through Webster Commons.   A fun turn of events was the fact that people began to purchase the book and then collect autographs of the storytellers profiled in the book.  An instant collector's item!  Thanks to Chester Weems for the marvelous image above.
