Robin Taylor-Chiarello's new book, "It Only Takes One Friend"

Harvest Gold Gallery is pleased to announce the new book by Robin Taylor-Chiarello.  "It Only Takes One Friend"

"It Only Takes One Friend" follows the story of Little Chief, a young bison who is chosen to replace a retiring elder bison at Beech Hill Farm and Bison Ranch. Little Chief is unsure about leaving his friends and moving to a new place. To his surprise he is warmly greeted by a friendly chicken named Abigail Frizzle, and quickly learns that it only takes one friend to make you feel at home.

The book is dedicated to a young handicapped friend of Robin's who just recently had to move to a new school.  She combined his story with the story of the Beech Hill Farm's new herd Bison and puppy to create a fun story with good lessons for all.

“Robin has been a primary school art and art history teacher and has enjoyed a 20-year career designing health care environments. She is an alumnus of Finch College and Harvard Graduate School of Design and has held memberships in the International Interior Design Association and American Institute of Architects.

She loves creating multicultural children’s environments and recently designed a collection of African-inspired borders and murals for Hearts of the Father Children’s Orphanage in Ghana.

She is a past president of United Cerebral Palsy of New Jersey and was appointed to the Office of the Public Advocate for the Developmentally Disabled for handicapped housing by former New Jersey Governor, Brendan Byrne.

She resides in Chatham, New Jersey and Center Lovell, Maine with her husband, Robert, and dog, Taxi.”

Thanks for a wonderful book signing with Robin Taylor Chiarello!

            Robin Taylor-Chiarello, mother, grandmother, primary school teacher and acclaimed children books author, is the phenomenal writer of The Blue Lobster, a tale about the strife for acceptance.  The Blue Lobster highlights the struggle that those who are unique, especially by birth, face in a closed society. Inspired to write this book by the loss of her own son, who was born blue because of a heart defect, and from hearing on the radio the findings of a “one in a million” blue lobster catch on the United States coastline, she created this unique children’s book that can be enjoyed by all because of its moral and understanding.  This tale teaches that acceptance is the only way, because one day, the one who is different may become a star.

            The Blue Lobster certainly did become a star as Robin released a second book called The Blue Lobster’s Holiday! in which diversity and love is shown loud and proud. Robin is an advocate for multi-cultural children’s environments, and about loving no matter how different a being might be. She brings forth those morals in this diverse tale of celebration and giving, acceptance and the spirit of the holidays. The story’s undersea life celebrates all cultures and religion, from Hanukah to Christmas, and blessings for all!

The Blue Lobster Wins! Los Angeles Book Festival Honorable Mention, San Francisco Book Awards First Place, Boston Book Festival Honorable Mention, Silver Mom’s Choice Award, and Paris France Winner Children’s Division. 

           

            This past Friday we had the pleasure of meeting the author, reading the Blue Lobster Series, and taking home a signed copy from Harvest Gold Gallery. We enjoyed wine and cheese and small hors d'oeuvres from Bill rockin' in the kitchen.  We enjoyed conversation with each other and the opportunity to talk with Robin, about her career, inspiration, and love for diversity and acceptance.
