Your link to more information about the story is broken. I was disappointed to see that because I was hoping to find out more about the background of Ti Jean stories. I found your book at the library and read the first two stories to my children. They clammered for me to read the third to them but I felt like my voice needed a break and I was delighted to find this recording of you reading the stories, so they didn’t have to wait to here the last one.
My apologies. I unwittingly got caught in the MobileMe switch to iCloud but I am working to get my website available again asap. I’m so glad your kids like Ti-Jean. He is such a great character — so various and of such delight. The stories recorded here are not read but told so the versions are always somewhat different from the text. One of the wonders of oral transmission!! With luck, once the website is back on track you’ll be able to find more of my books your family might enjoy with you. Thanks so much for being in touch.
