Tue, 12 Oct 2010 13:00:00 GMT http://www.stinkypress.com/Author-Interview!.php http://www.stinkypress.com/Author-Interview!.php Listen to interview of Naty Osa along with Cacy Fay on Nancy´s Bookshelf. A radio show of conversations and readings with local and regional writers presented by Nancy Wigman on KCHO CHICO CA - Northstate Public Radio Mon, 27 Sep 2010 13:00:00 GMT http://kchofm.podbean.com/2010/04/13/naty-osa-casey-fay/ http://www.stinkypress.com/News--Events.php Naty Osa's latest book, Grandma's Lost Her Head, entertains, warms the heart, and very subtly tells a tale of optimism and tenacity in the face of adversity. Lovingly told and brilliantly illustrated by her son, Javier Dura, this is a wise tale that makes accessible to the reader the realities both of the frailties of the human body and the enduring strength of familial affections. The story is loosely autobiographical, based on the author's mother's stroke and the family's struggle to understand and accept the changes in their beloved mother and grandmother. Set against Dura's signature fantastic, colorful and charming backgrounds, the story explores a child's range of emotions from incomprehension to anger and leads him, and us, on a voyage of maturation, acceptance, and perseverance. This book faces head on the fact that our lives are fragile yet precious and that while illness and loss are inevitable, memory and family ties can and do survive, sometimes as here, with grace and aplomb. Grandma's Lost Her Head is a celebration, tender and humorous, of family, imperfect but grand. It's a must-read for children whose families may be facing difficult physical or mental health issues. Wed, 15 Sep 2010 13:00:00 GMT http://www.stinkypress.com/illustrators.php http://www.stinkypress.com/News--Events.php Take a whiff of Chico author's new children's book! 'Billy, you pig!' Mama Bear slammed her hand on the table. Flippy the Fly jumped up from behind Billy's ear mumbling 'Que pasa?' Larry the Lamb barely stirred on his blanket by the fire. They all lived together in a cave on the banks of the Wannarana Creek." Billy is making a racket with the silverware. He's drooling. And he stinks. Says Mama Bear "If that pig doesn't take a bath soon, someone's going to pass out from the smell. Therein lies a tale and it's told in "Billy the Pig: The Stinkiest Cowboy in Town" ($14.95 in hardcover from Stinky Press Publishing, www.stinkypress.com) by Chicoan Naty Osa. The delightfully whimsical full-page color illustrations are provided by Osa's son, Javier Dura. Copies are available through the Web site or locally from Lyon Books and Avenue 9 Gallery in Chico, Back at the Ranch in Paradise, and Discover Earth in Red Bluff. The story passes this reviewer's smell test for witty wording and nonsensical fun. One day in Happy Holler Billy buys a Durian, the stinkiest fruit there is, from his friend Monk the Monkey at Monk's Fruits and Veggies. The rodeo is coming up and Billy has a hankering to do some bee roping. Monk is in a quandary. He knows people don't want Billy participating in the rodeo unless he takes a bath. He had heard that Mrs. Robinson fainted dead away from the smell when she was standing in line behind Billy at the Pony Espresso Cafe. He wanted to talk to him about it, but how do you tell your friend people think he stinks?. Turns out this pig's got talent. Will he be able to rope bees? Will he take a bath? Billy the Pig brings home the bacon. Wed, 15 Sep 2010 14:00:00 GMT http://dielbee.blogspot.com/2009/05/take-whiff-of-chico-author-new-children.html
