Today we visit the writing blog of
Helen Ginger, a long-time editor whose weekly writing e-zine has a ten-year popular history with authors. Helen writes about all things related to writing and publishing. We tell the back-story of using
Terraskin, a non-wood-pulp paper made of calcium carbonate. It's no accident that we're visiting a blog called
Straight From Hel so click over and find out why even the best intentions can go awry.
Welcome to Day 6 of the blog book tour for
Your Fantastic Elastic Brain: Stretch It, Shape It by
JoAnn Deak Ph.D. and illustrated by
Sarah Ackerley. This innovative and timely picture book is a fun and engaging way to teach children that they have the ability to stretch and grow their own brains.

Junior's first word was "brain". A fitting choice to add to his library. :)
Thank you, Helen Ginger, for being such a gracious hostess. Thank you, Dani, for your candor.
Keith Anthony is the man of the hour!
Just read the behind-the-scenes process for bringing JoAnn Deak's book, Your Fantastic Elastic Brain, to fruition. Thankfully, everyone involved persevered, in spite of the problems and roadblocks, to make this book a reality. As seen in the comments on Helen Ginger's blog, you've already got others thinking about problem-solving and alternative methods for creating environmentally friendly books. And thanks for the opportunity to win all of LLP's books.

Thank you guests and LPP supporters for getting us over the 11,000 visitor threshold today. Woohoo! 20,000, here we come!
The books look awesome and I have found myself quoting the reviewers of the Elastic Brain. Thanks for getting this important information out there for all of us.
JoAnn's work continues to inspire adults and kids alike! This is a must-read book.
The post is a perfect snippet of what we've gone through at LPP to steer the industry onto a more thoughtful production path. And, the "situation" brought our understanding to such a high level that it wasn't experienced in vain. I can't wait to see what we come up with next! Thanks, Dani!
