WILL KEENO’S MONKEY BUSINESS GET HIM IN TROUBLE?

Keeno is a mischievous little monkey, and his best friend Ernest is a clever and responsible young elephant. One day Keeno spots a big, shiny banana tree, but it is far away—all the way on the other side of the river of their jungle home—and his parents have told him never to cross the river without an adult. Ernest reminds him of this, but Keeno decides to cross anyway. When he finds himself in great danger, he must rely on his friend Ernest to rescue him! In the end, Keeno learns two very valuable lessons about friendship and following family rules.

About the Author: Maggie van Galen grew up in Northern Michigan listening to her father’s stories, imagining the characters, being transported to the locations, and engaging in the plots. Maggie discovered that she too had the creativity to put her thoughts to paper, and always used writing as a sort of escapism. After years of telling stories to her boys and their friends, Maggie decided to share them with the world. She truly hopes that you enjoy them too! Maggie lives with her husband and two beautiful boys on the North Shore of Massachusetts.

We are doing Creative Vision Boards this month. They are a collage of what you envision for your work, your creative business or your life in general. This is a great exercise to get a clear visual on the things you want in your work and in your life. We have done these in the past and many people had a break through that day. I have my vision boards all around me in my studio and I still find inspiration from them. Please bring your board, glue and anything extra you might want to put on your board. We have magazines and other collage materials. Just show up and let the magic happen!

Please join us for this fun exercise and bring in your new work for show and tell! Thanks Lisa Scala
