Are you a teacher who is celebrating Earth Day on April 22nd? If so - you may want to get a copy of my children's book, Sky Food. You can order it at https://www.mikelockett.com/products?category_id=1&product_id=2. My tale is based on a lesser known folktale about "why clouds are in the sky." Variations of the story can be found in Africa and in Native American tales from the American southwest. I use the story as a fun way to generate discussions on taking care of our planet and not wasting resources.

Today marks the beginning of spanish American Heritage Month. For my contribution to hard working Latinos I offer the chance for families to order my four English/Spanish children's books. All four books are hardbacks with audio. My voice does the English on all the recordings, The Spanish is done by my good frield and talented storyteller Leeny Del Seamonds. I sell the books for $10 plus tax and shipping. For McLean County residents, you can buy my books at Niepegan Nurseries, In Springrield you can buy my books at Daisy Jane's Bookstore by the old capitol building.

I'm thrilled to have almost sold out of my novel. (The House at the Top of the Bottoms - a story set during the Great Depression.) Signing books and answering readers' questions is a lot of fun. Jan Lockett and I drove to Michigan last week to pick up 800 more copies from my publisher, Ted Parkhurst. I could have had Ted ship them, but Jan wanted to visit Mackinac Island, and Ted's warehouse was only 25 minutes off the route we traveled. So, we combined business and pleasure.
