“Silhouettes – Literary Passageways,” by Mitzi Libsohn, Arrarnged and Compiled by Pauli Rose Libsohn, reflects literary choices favored by my mother – various books and poetry all possessing the same theme – love, in which she sings their praises in the form of brilliant literary silhouettes, leading the reader through their tantalizing passageways.

“Messages Of Love Remembered,” by Pauli Rose Libsohn, is compiled solely of my parents’ original verses of poetry and letters of love, is an artistic effort relating to and involving their lives throughout the years, in essence, telling their story. I have in turn, created lovely stories and insights behind all their poetic writings, composed for all and various occasions – lost love letters, along with my parents’ greeting cards’ messages of love .

“The Ballet With Encores,” is a First Place winner in the 2021 Worldwide Royal Dragonfly Book Award Contest for Letters, Journals and Diaries. In addition, it is a Second Place winner for Autobiography/Biography in the 2021 Royal Dragonfly Book Award Contest. It is an “Ode” to my parents’ and their enduring love – a story of their beautiful romance, inspired by and composed of their own verse. These extraordinary expressions of my parents’ love for one another date from 1944 – 2007. Their life-long passion is compelling, and is a declaration of love in its most positive sense. It is the story of a bond never broken between a man and a woman, and the inspiration behind “The Ballet,” a one act play about a chapter in my parents’ lives that changed their life’s course forever.

Now, remembering this sweet tale, I rummaged through her papers, and adapted it for children of all ages!

“Grandfather,”is an Honorary Winner in the 2021 Worldwide Royal Dragonfly Book Award Contest for Children’s Picture Books, 6 Years Old and Over written by Mitzi Libsohn, is a wonderful story about her beloved Grandfather, and the excitement that occurred in her home – ALWAYS – when he came for a “STATE” visit. Never having forgotten the whirlwind of anticipation and the prevailing feelings of exhilaration, my mother took pen in hand and wrote it all down, just as it happened all those years ago, and which I – Pauli Rose Libsohn – have adapted for children of all ages. But, what was forgotten when Grandfather came for his visit?
As Penelope slowly drifted off to sleep and began to dream, she felt what she thought was a cool breeze floating across her cheek. Opening one eye, Penelope discovered that a gentle wind was swirling around. Then, all at once the sound of a great big WHOOSH came from somewhere in her room!
Penelope was the TALK OF THE TOWN! She was causing A LOT of commotion with ALL her little friends AND parents. In fact, she was the cause of a neighborhood UPROAR! But why?
The biggest event in Penelope’s life was the day her parents sat her down at the kitchen table and told her she would finally be getting her wish to become a GROWN-UP!
Wondering WHATEVER could her parents want when they called her into the kitchen, Julie sat down and with a quizzical look asked “What IS IT?” Her parents, with smiles on their faces and sparkles in their eyes, exclaimed “JULIE, Daddy and I were wondering what you would like for your SIXTH birthday…”
It was Sunday, May 11th, and Penelope couldn’t wait to wake up. It was going to be a FANTABULOUS DAY. It was her HALF-BIRTHDAY AND MOTHER’S DAY all rolled into one!
