Table Manners for Humans
Meet Kelly, the artist for Manners
Meet Kelly, the artist for Manners
Table manners are different, depending on who is doing the eating. For example, not everyone has to use a napkin, especially if the one eating has a super long tongue or a wing that they can use. But human children are expected to use good table manners and that means a napkin is to be used.

Kelly Haneklau gave me art lessons. Now we’re creating a book together. Kelly inspires and helps many artists in our community. Her art is dynamic and varied, from landscapes to social justice!
The idea for Table Manners came to me when I was a cafeteria hostess at Coles Elementary. But I couldn’t draw animals. Still can’t. So I am thrilled to have finally found a partner for this project.
Help us out by pre-ordering the E-book. It will look completely different from the book that we also will be publishing August 15th. (If you use the link below, I will get a bonus from Amazon ;-)
The Forgetful Giraffe

The Forgetful Giraffe
Mommy’s a bit forgetful. She forgets her keys, her purse, and even her kids. But something happens that changes that. Surprisingly, it’s not always a good thing that Mommy starts to remember.
The Second Edition
The Forgetful Giraffe
The Forgetful Giraffe
Do authors redo their books? Of course! But not many go through the time and expense of this magnitude. So, lucky you, you’ll get to see the same illustration colored by two artists! And, with the extra pages, you’ll get to see another way to hammer-in an important story element.
In 2020, the team and I gathered. We were going to start on a third story, but since Jon Bidwell was taking over the coloring, we quickly figured out that the books would have very different looks to them. So, we decided to start over, so to speak. With Jasmyn’s help, I put together a coloring book while Jon started on the monumental job of coloring and formatting the second edition.
After three years in the making, we proudly present The Forgetful Giraffe. Again.
The first editions of The Forgetful Giraffe and The Industrious Giraffe are no longer available on Amazon, but don’t worry. You can still find them on my shop page. But please hurry. Reprints are limited.
