     L is for Leprechaun - an ABC book of Notre Dame was published by my company, Learning With Little Folks, in 2008.  I was responsible for all aspects of the book from research and writing to hiring an illustrator to printing and marketing. It is an officially licensed product of the University.  We topped the 1000 book mark in August.  A donation is made to the Hesburgh
Library for each book sold.

Available at the Hammes Bookstore on campus and its online catalog http://www.ndcatalog.com

   
Research for L is for Leprechaun included a look in my college scrapbooks and a visit to the Archives on campus.  My rector from freshman year, Jane Pitz, shared her artistic talent and created the art for the
book.  She digitized photographs.  Look for my daughters, Meghan and Kaitlin, on pages A, G and W.
 
 
 

I am especially proud of the words that former
University president Fr. Hesburgh shared on the
back cover.


And of course,
H is for Theodore M. Hesburgh, CSC
a scholar, leader, and priest,
president emeritus, and activist
for civil rights and world peace. 

 


 

 I will be on campus signing books
at the Hammes Bookstore on Friday
and Saturday of the Notre Dame -
Navy weekend, November 6 & 7, 2009.

Jane Pitz will be signing on Friday,
October 2 during the Washington game.

Otherwise, look for me cheering on the
Fighting Irish football team at the Notre
Dame Club of Phoenix watch parties.
Go Irish!
