Gabby the Grape LOVES being green! As summer approaches and all Gabby’s vineyard friends start to turn purple, she learns that being different isn’t always well received.  By being herself, she eventually realizes that blending in doesn’t always have benefits and that good things come to those who are comfortable in their own skin! Gabby delivers the important messages of individuality, acceptance and confidence in a fun, whimsical way!

The setting for Gabby the Green Grape takes place in rural vineyard country. The book is an homage to the back roads of Sonoma County and gives a nod to local landmarks and historic icons in bucolic Healdsburg, CA, where the author resides.

When life in the countryside starts to feel a little dull, Pete and his pup, Pip, set off on an unforgettable city adventure full of surprises. From towering skyscrapers to delicious treats, their journey reveals that fun, beauty, and wonder can be found anywhere. Inspired by the harmony between the energy of the city and the calm of nature, Pinot Pete celebrates curiosity, exploration, and self-discovery. This imaginative story encourages children to embrace new experiences while discovering the magic and beauty in the world around them—blending the best of both worlds into one delightful, juicy tale.
