About this book

When a Lobster Whistles showcases idioms from around the world that describe a time when something will never happen. In English, some say, "when pigs fly," while other languages express the idea with fish climbing trees, hairy frogs, or dancing cows. This book frames the expressions around a love that will never end.

Educators will appreciate the discussion of idioms and adynation (or hyperbole), the pronunciation guide, and the visual survey of countries and culture. Parents and kids alike will enjoy the humorous and exquisite illustrations. ESL students, and those who see their language represented, will relish a book that celebrates both the ideas that we all share, and the different ways that we express them.

Invisible Elephants
Invisible Elephants addresses some of the hidden problems that face young people today, with the 'invisible elephant' used as a place holder for alcoholism, drug addiction, unwanted physical contact or family violence. This particular story is based on the author's early life growing up in an alcoholic family and is written from the perspective of a young child. The advice at the back of the book reinforces the strategies for dealing with an invisible elephant, should a child find themselves to be living with one. It encourages young people to speak out and seek help in a safe way. Sadly, children dealing with these situations are frequently sworn to silence and do not feel able to seek the help they so desperately need.
