Getting Along with each Other

by Sally Huss

When a loon, a baboon, and a raccoon complain that they are too close to each other, they move apart. But then they seem to be invading the territory of the local cows who in turn find them too close. The three move away again, this time to a pond with a school of boorish Moorish idols who are also unwelcoming. They find relief on an island but that too has inhabitants who insist that they move on.

So it goes until the three are surprised by a beautiful butterfly who changes their thinking. Perhaps living next to each other and getting along with each other might just be – Cool!

*All in rhyme and delightfully illustrated with over 25 whimsical images
*A message every child will understand and enjoy

About the author

For years I have wanted to do what I am doing now -- writing and illustrating my children's books. Electronic drawing pads and e-books have made it possible for me to create and publish my own books -- and do so in quantity. In the past, Harcourt Brace, Ten Speed Press, Thomas Nelson had only published a few.

The books were always squeezed in between art I needed to do to fill 26 Sally Huss Galleries (my degree was from USC in Fine Art); and licensing demands for clothing, greeting cards (American Greetings), purses, bibs, dinnerware, wallpaper; and the daily King Features Syndicated inspirational panel I do for newspapers called Happy Musings.

Through the years my art and writings have found their way into homes from Hollywood to The White House and perhaps even your house or your mother's.

Along with art, I have had a long history with tennis. In fact I was raised to be a champion (U.S. Junior and Wimbledon Champion, then a semi-finalist in the women's division at Wimbledonin singles and doubles). Later I became one of the top senior players in the country. This experience lead to my writing and illustrating a couple of books on the game -- EIGHT GOLDEN RULES FOR HOW TO PLAY YOUR BEST TENNIS (endorsed by Billie Jean King, Mary Carrillo, Dick Enberg, etc.) and LOVE LADIES LEAGUE TENNIS.

I mostly read the books of the French Philosopher Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov. For me, these present the clearest and most practical explanation of life and man's structure in it that I've come across. These light-filled pages send my heart soaring and give me food for my present work.

Presently I write, illustrate and paint in my Solana Beach, California studio where I live with my husband Marv. I also still play a bit of tennis and walk the beach daily.

Wonderful

Such a cute, imaginative and funny rhyming story. Highly recommend! The writing is so smooth, with tons of humor and proper repeats, the characters are cute and fun, the storyline is imaginative and of surprise, meanwhile it teaches a lesson for kids. Love it!

GETTING ALONG WITH EACH OTHER (Very Funny, Rhyming Bedtime Story/Picture Book About Attitude, for Early Readers, Emphasizing the "Oooh" Sound, 25 Whimsical Illustrations, Ages 2-8)
An illustrated colorful children's book about just getting along with one another. Three animals are just sitting and one doesn't really have enough room so the others push over and that leaves one of them with hardly any room.
This continues and they end up moving to other areas and then other animals are without a lot of room. The hot air balloon is the answer til they notice a nest and new birds and now they don't have enough room...
The birds have the solution all along and they share it with the animals and others.
Authors other works are highlighted at the end.
