Danny the Dragon to Bring Joy to Kids in Victoria, Australia
Much devastation was caused by the Victoria, Australia wildfires of February 2009, including the loss of the children’s book collections at the local libraries and schools.
Through the hard work of authors, writers, concerned citizens and the coordinated efforts of the Society of Children’s Book Writers & Illustrators (SCBWI), the book collections have been re-built as a result of generous book donations from around the world.
(Above: Photo of Corinne King of SCBWI Australia holding some of the book donations)
I am very pleased to have been able to donate a copy of my Danny the Dragon Meets Jimmy to the collection, plus it’s great to know that the local Victoria, Australia children will have the opportunity to get to know the lovable storybook characters: Danny and his traveling companion Skipper.
I do hope that the book brings joy and sparks the imaginations of the children, in the same way that it has done here in the States!

Tina Turbin to Announce her Cause at Pasadena City College Orchestra Concert
John A. Sexson Auditorium – main performing arts venue on the campus of the Pasadena City College.
I am thrilled to have the opportunity to work with the distinguished conductor of the Pasadena City College Orchestra.
On October 30th, as part of a very special “family” concert that the Orchestra will perform to an audience of 2,000, we will be releasing my Danny the Dragon DREAMS CD and the “Danny the Dragon Meets Jimmy” DVD (sign interpretation for the deaf), based off of my award-winning children’s book of the same name. The CD which also features the “Danny the Dragon Meets Jimmy” audiobook, is composed of beautiful classical music, and one of the classical pieces will be performed live for the first time ever at the concert.
Profits from the sales of the CD will be generously donated to the Celiac Disease Center at Columbia University Medical Center, to support Dr. Peter Green’s research and efforts to raise celiac awareness.
Profits from the sales of the DVD will be donated to the Blossom’s Montessori School for the Deaf.
The concert promises to be a wonderful event. It is the Orchestra’s most sought-after and prestigious concert of the year. More details to come!
