Meet Ace Hansen and his little Green Friends!

Meet Ace Hansen, creator of Outrageous Fiction for Kids,

and have fun...

What do you love about your book? It makes Earthlings laugh out loud! Laughing is good for your  health, especially when you snort through your cute little noses.

Ace, introduce us to the main character: Julius Caesar Brown isn't the smartest kid in fifth grade, but he knows what he doesn't want. He doesn't want to pass green gas. And for Jake the Snake to leave him alone. And to get rid of his best friend's nasty little sister, Millie. And to avoid having his brain eaten by the Zombie Lady down the street.

All Julius wants is a happy family. And for Ivy Chen to hold his hand. If only he could solve the green gas mystery, then all his troubles would vanish into clean air.  

 

Share two things you learned during the publication process: Not everyone thinks green farts are funny. Never, never, never give up! 

The world is farting green! Who will stop the green gas crisis!

Wood’s charming story in rhyme features Grandfather Afi’s Big Red Chair. The chair is special for all family members, for hugs, naps, playtime; even laundry.

 

The tale begins with “We did not want a big red chair” until the time came Grandmother Ammi decides she would like the chair since Afi does. When Afi needs to be in the hospital, he misses his Big Red Chair. And when God calls Afi home, the rest of the family remember Afi’s love, especially when they use his chair.

 

More than a family tale, Wood’s book shares the love of a special grandfather who leaves fond memories in the everyday item they all enjoyed: his favorite chair. The pictures used to illustrate the book are a treasure and nearly any family can relate to them. A discussion guide meant to help young ones recall their friends or family members with love is included.
