What Inspired Me
I grew up in a the city overseas (Hong Kong). When I was young I couldn't figure out Santa in department stores, Santa on T.V.,Santa at church, or even Santa in books? Who was this huge red and white fellow? I never figured it out until I was a teen. I asked my brother questions and he always had an answer even if he was completely wrong. I looked at the night sky on Christmas Eve to see if I could spot Santa with Rudolph. On top of it, I lived in a high rise so we didn't have fireplaces and chimneys...I didn't have that exposure or hadn't seen snow until I went to college in Massachusetts. My brother came up with a brilliant idea of taping our socks on the windows. Somehow, we always had presents under the Christmas tree even though it was a fake plastic one.

When I was in elementary school, my teacher said it was time to write Santa a letter. Each year, I wrote requesting a puppet...I never got what I wanted and I always received a toy tea set. I just figured that Santa was getting old or ran out of puppets.

5.0 out of 5 stars Books That Sow: Strength, Character & Diversity, DBA, November 7, 2012
By Books That Sow: Strength, Character & Diversi... (Houston, TX) - See all my reviewsThis review is from: Gobbles and His Turkey Trick (Paperback)
Beatrix S. Taubunan is an excellent children's author and illustrator.

I just love the simplicity of her writing on paper, yet the plot is so intense, meaningful and carries such a strong message for children.

The illustrations are outstanding, colorful and mesh very well with the plot. I can just see myself right there in Gobble's world, so the children will too.

Children will love this story and feel Gobble's heart as he deliberately finds a way to remain alive and well. This time, the humans were outsmarted.

What a beautiful story for this time of year - Thanksgiving.

"Gobbles and His Turkey Trick" is definitely a page turner, and will keep small children entertained. Help other customers find the most helpful reviews

5.0 out of 5 stars What fun!, November 5, 2012
By LEONARDOVERSE "Leonardo Ramirez" (Nashville, TN) - See all my reviewsThis review is from: Gobbles and His Turkey Trick (Kindle Edition)
I am becoming a bigger fan of Beatrix Tambunan's work with every book and this one is even more fun than the last. Just when you think you're in for a sweet, simple story the author hits you with a funny line soon after Gobbles is born that had me rolling. Gobbles is very clever and throws the reader for a tofu loop that brought a smile to my face. Help other customers find the most helpful reviews

My New Book! Gobbles and His Turkey Trick

My new book, Gobbles and His Turkey Trick, is my newest children's book. I would like to say that I am not a vegetarian but I think turkeys are funny looking. My daughter gave me a lecture on how turkeys were not even served on Thanksgiving. Other foods originally served were duck, corn, and even clams. I find it fascinating that turkeys have such importance in our grocery's stores because of its popularity. It's funny because we wait for them to be fattened up so we can eat lean meat.

New Children's Book, "Jack The Pumpkin"

Happy October! I'm very happy to finish a small children's tale on "Jack O'Lantern". I never thought of doing a seasonal book but for some reason, I thought about changes and how positive changes can be. I figured that I should do some drawings and seeing that it is the season of pumpkins, I was inspired to do something Halloweenish. I hope you enjoy it! https://www.createspace.com/3632725
