Hello all and a warm welcome to you all. In this weeks journal, civil rights, my new children’s book, music and more…

1. My featured photo is of my new book, Scratchy the Squirrel: A Time for Friends.

2. This week I celebrated Martin Luther King Jr. Day, January 17th, a national holiday in the United States of America.

I also found out that National Penguin Day happened this week, January 20th and of course that meant watching Happy Feet.

3. I took in a couple of cool documentaries this week, MLK/FBI An award-winning documentary about Martin Luther King Jr.

And, Oscar Brown Jr. – American singer, songwriter, playwright, poet, civil rights activist, and actor.

4. One of my favorite jazz festivals is the Winter Jazz Fest, running virtually from January, 13 – 22 and that’s what I’ve been listening to all week. If you have a taste for some jazz, the concerts will be archived for your viewing and listening pleasure.

5. My children’s e-book, Samba in Brazil is available for free, for a limited time. I have joined this awesome winter book fair that includes a variety of ‘Great Kids Books’.
