Meet the Authors ...
Tutu's Pearls reflects the truly important concepts of a life well lived, from two Tutu's who have been friends for over 50 years. Janet lives in a cabin in the woods of Washington State where she gleans daily inspiration for her gorgeous hand painted and drawn illustrations for the books. Linda lives in Hawaii, hence how she got the nickname "Tutu" from her grandchildren. The two joyfully collaborate and dream up the concepts on their trips to visit each other and their world travels. Learn more about our beloved author duo on the About Page.
"We hope that your experience with this book makes you feel like you just had a big hug from your Tutu!" ~ Janet and Linda

~Readers' Favorite International Book Review and Contest (click here to read full review)
"While nominally a children's book, this is not the sort of thing you give to the kids to keep them busy in the back seat of the car on a long trip. It is rather something to be shared by an adult reading to a young person. It provides a way to discuss what matters in life. I could imagine doting grandparents or aunts buying it to create a special shared experience with their favorite new relative."

"Tutu’s Pearls is a beautifully curated and illustrated book. The wisdom imparted on each page will have more meaning and I believe your children will become more enlightened by it as they mature. It’s a book they will go back to time and time again and have a deeper understanding with each read. A perfect holiday gift."
Ellie Mae
"One of my favorite books of the decade! I just read Tutu's Pearls. A lovely written and crafted book of wise words and comforting messages for all ages. The original artwork that graces every page allows the written word to come to life in a way that is magical and inspiring.
