Maryanne Raphael did her usual book signing in Waverly, Ohio, her hometown during December.  While she was signing books, her son and his wife was enriching and enlarging the family.

Maryanne will meet Anjali Lucia, her new granddaughter in February after she unpacks her Ohio bags and packs her Oregon/Seattle bags.

 Anjali was born in Eugene, Oregon where her father is working on his Ph.D. in Cinema and her mother is raising Wonder Children, publishing books and newsletters , studying Yoga and teaching education.

8 year old Zeal was born in New Delhi when his parents were both teaching at the American Embassy.  He wrote his first book, with the help of his mother when he was five months old.  He was also giving piano concerts in India at that early age.

After visiting Raphael, Ginger, Zeal and Anjali February in Eugene, Maryanne will go on a book tour in Seattle.  She will return home to Carlsbad, California March 27th.
