Pull on your PJs and curl up with Hooty to read a tail about friendship and beauty. This Seuss-like story in rhyme with bright illustrations for kids of all ages takes a humorous swipe at our airbrushed society. A lonely little hen named Emma embarks on a makeover, thinking it will guarantee friendship. She goes to a makeover artist named Raider who promises to give her whatever she pays for. At his Bird Body Shop he nips and tucks and snips and liposucks, transforming the hen into a birdie bod hotty. Now renamed Hooty McTooty, the chicken is voted Miss Poultry with banner and crown and tours the country with limo top down. But even though she's named cover bird of the Barnyard Gazette, she still has no friends, for Hooty McTooty had gotten a little too uppity snooty. She discovers that true beauty is more than feather deep; it's love that you give, it's joy that you reap. This delightful "tail" will make you giggle as you watch the transformation of the self-absorbed Hooty McTooty into a caring hen with friends who make her happy and happy again. "Colorfully delightful and carries the story line at an easy pace." Jewel Sample, "Flying Hugs and Kisses."

København, juni 1885: Den franske maler Paul Gauguin forlader sin danske kone, Mette, og deres børn for at forfølge sin kunstnerdrøm.  Alene i København drømmer Mette sig tilbage til de første års stormende lykke i Paris. De synes fjernt fra den virkelighed, hun nu befinder sig i, og den mand, hun modtager breve fra. En selvforsørgende alenemor er et særsyn, men Mette trodser stædigt det bedre borgerskabs normer. København syder af nye, provokerende tanker og ideer om kvindefrigørelse og borgerrettigheder. Tidens store kunstnere, politikere og intellektuelle lægger ofte vejen forbi parrets enestående samling af avantgardistisk malerkunst. Årene går. Pauls breve afspejler et menneske i konflikt med sig selv, sin omverden og sin kunstneriske vision. Rygterne om hans udskejelser chokerer ikke længere hans hårdt prøvede kone. Hvor langt kan hun strække sig for hans kald? I 1897 må Mette per brev overbringe sin mand den værst tænkelige nyhed. Hvad er det, der gør, at parret trods års adskillelse, utallige skuffelser og endeløse skænderier alligevel forbliver hinandens sjælevenner? DIN HENGIVNE er et glødende portræt af en moderne kvinde og hendes svære livsvalg: at elske en kompromisløs kunstner.
