Maureen McElheron composes the words and music for Bill Plympton's animated films, including the Academy Award-nominated Your Face, as well as12 Tiny Christmas Tales for Cartoon Network. Her music for the feature film The Tune was nominated for an Independent Spirit Award. She is also a public school teacher in New York City.
It was hard to resist Richard Smith and Maureen McElheron's book, There Is a God! , particularly because of the subtitle 1,001 Heartwarming (and Hilarious) Reasons to Believe. Actually, some are heartwarming, some funny, and some a little naughty. It's a fun little book, and some of the comments actually do make you think. There is a God! is a charming little book. You can zip through it, or you can pick it up, and think about the little miracles of life. I know the person who will enjoy this, and I'll be giving my copy as a gift. I think you'll want to read it first, though, to identify some of the little things in life that you never thought of as miracles. --Lesa's Book Critiques
