Written by Millicent Sutton

The first autumn frost has fallen in the Meadow where Minnie, a tiny, mis-happened monarch butterfly, and her kaleidoscope are preparing for the great migration south, to the Butterfly Forest. But on the day of the departure, Minnie, distracted wit her playful antics, is left behind in the Meadow. Encouraged by her friends, guided by Ms. Patsy, the old painted lady and with help from a unique talent Minnie has been "gifted", the two butterflies set out on one of the most epic journeys in the animal kingdom: a three-thousand-mile trek to the Butterfly Forest. Along the way of their perilous adventure, dodging predators, braving the elements, and overcoming a series of mishaps and calamities, Mnnie discovers her inner strength and forms unbreakable bonds of friendship.

Honor late Author, Gary De Maria, Book Event
The Closet
Written by Gary De Maria
Meet his sisters on Sunday, June 29th, as they honor their late brother Gary with a republished edition of his book by Bunbury’s Books
Everyone has one… a closet - a place to keep our private faces.
But closets are for hangups, not for people. And thanks to Gary De Maria’s unique brand of social commentary, not even moths need live in closets any longer!
With incisive wit and wisdom, Gary De Maria applies his art-and psychology schooling for the fearful, the loathing,
the sympathetic, and the curious. He draws from his many experiences, including that of zany roller-skating waiter at Busby’s on San Francisco’s infamous Polkstrasse, in acontext witty, poignant, and sometimes sad. Open the closet door! Take a cruise to liberation’s last frontier. Meet the Fairy Godfather, D.O., Helen and Harry - the “breeders,” little but oh-so-aware Munchkin and the myriad other real-life characters who illustrate here what awareness and fairness are all about.
WE ALL HAVE A COMMON DENOMINATOR …ONLY SOME OF THE PROPS MIGHT BE DIFFERENT.
