King Kong vs. Pinocchio

What’s new?


3 mins. Music by Judith Gruber-Stitzer

Diplomacy fails and tensions mount when two cultural icons battle for no reason. In this blockbuster action adventure, egos explode on two islands—one volcanic, the other municipal.

The Girl with the Red Beret / La fille au béret rouge has been making the rounds of festivals around the world. Produced by the National Film Board of Canada, it is a lighthearted look at the vagaries of public transport, to the tune of the Kate and Anna McGarrigle song “Complainte pour Ste-Catherine”.

The Penguin and the Pea book

BANNED IN FLORIDA!

This completely uncontroversial children’s book has been pulled from Florida’s library shelves. I am proud to have my book join the ranks of such works as Fahrenheit 451, The Handmaid’s Tale, and Maus. This is simply “The Princess and the Pea”, retold with penguins, with a cabbage. My other penguin fairy tales have not yet been banned.
