Sunshine Picklelime - Tapa dura

Enjoying a seemingly magical life involving a warbler that comes to live in her hair, a batch of lemonade that draws many neighbors and other wonderful things, PJ is devastated by a string of sad events, including a friend's death and her parents' separation.

Only a person who has lived as richly as Pamela Ellen Ferguson has could create such a textured work of fiction. She was born in Mexico, grew up in Britain and South Africa, and has lived and worked in over a dozen world capitals. A former journalist in London's Fleet Street, she is now a leading instructor in Zen Shiatsu, and her books for adults, both fiction and nonfiction, have been translated into several languages. Pamela lives in Texas, surrounded by a garden with cacti as tall as trees. Sunshine Picklelime is her first book for children.
