Virgina Woolf wrote children's stories?
Well, she wrote at least this one. It's a brief, gentle fairy tale about, you guessed it, an old woman and a parrot. It's a quiet story with a happy ending - she dies, but dies happy - and morals about trust and kindness.

This little-known work by a well-known author was actually done as a commission. Her nephews Quentin and Julian Bell, small boys at the time, had a family newsletter. They figured they could do worse than ask auntie, the writer, for a contribution. Frankly, they were a bit disappointed, but too gracious to say so at the time. Years later, as near as I can tell, it resurfaced among adult Quentin's family papers, and he recognized it for the gem it in fact is. Then, to keep it a family matter, it was illustrated by a next-generation Bell also named Juian.

It's an interesting literary oddity as well as a charming story.

Passover delight
Here's a short and sweet tale for the festival celebrating the Jewish people's freedom from slavery in Egypt. It's a story we read over and over when the children were small, especially since one of the characters has the same name as one of our characters. Also, as one can see from the cover art, the illustrations are really lovely. Take a chance on this one, and enjoy it.

But when Peanut becomes the latest victim in a parrot-napping ring, Benny senses something is terribly wrong . . . and he and the girls set out to make it right. Determined to find Peanut before Mrs. Graham’s return, Benny, Rosie, and Fran head out on a new adventure to bring Peanut the Parrot back home. ... Read more
