Rutabaga Hash

For the longest time Grandma stirred and stewed Then uprose such a smell, That I said, “pee-ew!” One summer day, little Jimmy marks a new discovery in grandma’s special backyard garden and welcomes an abiding life-long memory with his gravely ill grandpa. RUTABAGA HASH, a rhyming and whimsical picture book story with colorful illustrations, recalls such a fond and nostalgic time in the author’s early post-war life visiting with his grandparents. (NOTE: This book is available in a softcover edition at amazon.com) A.Teveluwe’ Picture Books were conceived out of the joy their author received reading to his daughter during her formative years. Intent on entertainment versus the contemporary demand for teaching and ideological themes in children’s books, A.Teveluwe’ stories propose to join adults and children in the charm and delight of storytelling by sharing simple and lighthearted themes based on the author’s own upbringing and interests, with ageless and pleasantly reminiscent improvisation of an earlier time by simple and innocent diversions of imagination. Like many an aspiring author, with hopes his readers will pursue interest in his other works, the author presents the following additional children’s picture books, under the pen name of A.Teveluwe’ for consideration: CRACKING WALNUTS THE LITTLEST COWBOY and THE FLYING PIGS OF RIVERTOWN, a lighthearted flight through Cincinnati, Ohio history.
