Town Crier Staff Report

Los Altos Hills children's author Shirley Climo will sign her latest book at 1:30 p.m. Saturday at Heintzelman's Bookstore, 205 State St., in Los Altos. Her latest, "The Irish Cinderlad" is an unusual story of a young Cinderella lad who overcomes great obstacles to find true love. Her previous best-selling books, "The Korean Cinderella" and "The Egyptian Cinderella" were both highly acclaimed."In Ireland," Climo wrote, "there lived a lad named Becan. His mother gave him the name the day he was born, for Becan is Irish for ˚Little One.' Becan stayed small except for his feet that continued to grow." Those big feet kept Becan in trouble, but they also provided the route for Cinderlad because he ends up marrying a princess. "The Irish Cinderlad" is illustrated by Loretta Krupinski and retails for $14.95. For more information, call 941-1842.
