Here are ten stories from a Hawaiian garden that will entertain and guide young and old, all illustrated in brilliant watercolors.
Her "Thoughts for a Dead Japanese Fisherman" was the 1995 Grand Prize Winner in the Honolulu Magazine / Borders Books and Music fiction contest.
Ms. Bishop has been a city planner, a community activist, and an educator and is excited to launch her new career as an artist. She has taught Sunday School for many years and is currently the Christian Education Coordinator at Shepherd of the Hills Church. She enjoys helping people explore their spirituality through creative activities.
Growing up in Wahiawa, Leslie's dream was to write and illustrate books with Kathleen, her childhood friend. Fables from the Garden is their debut book and true gift of friendship.
Book Description from Back Cover
Come into the garden and hear a story!
Children will delight in this charming collection of stories featuring plants and animals often seen in Hawaii's gardens. A lone orchid finds friendship among roses; a kind albatross teaches a young frog about the joy of discovery; two greedy mynahs learn about sharing; a lazy blue ginger is encouraged to blossom. As a good fable should, each of these wondrous tales offers a valuable lesson at the end- but it's one that goes down with a smile.
