Featuring Author Tina Ruiz
Since I have your
attention, I’d like to announce my latest Halloween children’s book – A
Haunting Birthday Party available on Amazon. This is the second
children’s book I’ve written with a Halloween theme. A Halloween Party was
book one.
As I promised my
grandchildren, and others who truly enjoyed the first Halloween Children’s
Book, this one also contains silly character names. Example: Harry Pitts (harry
arm pitts) is the narrator in this book, and the birthday party is for Peppa
Roni and her twin brother, Reece A. Roni. It takes place at the Ray Zen
(raisin) Restaurant, where people like Judge Mental and his wife, Judy, are
enjoying a lovely meal. Kitti Letter (kitty litter) is the waitress for that
side of the room, and her job is to give all the kids a spooktacular evening.
Walter Melon (water melon) is the magician, Eve Ning (evening) is the cashier,
Miss Turi (mystery) is another waitress, and Mr. I. Ball (eyeball) is the
manager of the restaurant.
As you can see, this is
a fun treat for young and old alike. I’m excited for the world to see my second
Halloween children’s book.
The story is about Peppa
Roni and her twin brother, Reece A. Roni and Reece are having their 9th
birthday party in the neighborhood restaurant.
The storyline is quite
charming, and because you will try to figure out the double meaning of the fun
names while you read, this is bound to become your child’s favorite book.
This delightful
paperback book is another wonderful collaboration from writer Tina
Nykulak Ruiz and illustrator Ishika Sharma. This creative
duo knows how to put life and fun into children’s books to encourage young
people to read. As with all of Tina’s children’s stories, there’s a moral at
the end.
Tina Ruiz was born in Germany, but her family moved
to Canada when she was in grammar school. She began writing children’s stories
when her own were little. Through the years Ruiz wrote twenty-seven books. Most
of those stories went into readers for the Canada Board of Education. Two did
not. Mayor Shadoe Markley is a story about a ten-year-old girl who becomes
Mayor for a Day through a contest at school.
Little did Ruiz know
that story would “change the world.” The book came out at early January 1988.
By the end of that same month, everyone was calling the mayor’s office at City
Hall, trying to get the forms to fill out so their children could participate
in the contest. Thirty years later that same contest is still runs at full
speed. And not only in Calgary, but all across Canada. The Mayor’s Youth
Council is now in charge of the celebrated contest and invites Ruiz to attend
and meet the lucky winner. It’s usually followed by a hand-written thank you
card from the mayor himself. Recently Ruiz was invited to be part of the Grand
Opening of Calgary’s New Library where the mayor shook her hand and introduced
her to the attendees.
Tina has worked in
television and radio as well as being a professional clown at the Children’s
Hospital. She lives in Calgary with her husband who encourages her to write her
passion be it high-quality children’s books or intriguing romance.
