Details:
Robert Stelmach, a.k.a. Max Tell, dubbed the 'International Troubadourâ by the 2006 Vancouver International Childrenâs Festival, has joined forces with Silvana Goldemberg, Argentinean/Canadian author of a number of childrenâs book in Spanish, to create "Little Johnny Small and Other Stories", CD with audio book.

Little Johnny Small - Max Tell dreamed this story when he was a child. Little Johnny Small shows forgiveness after Big Jonathan turns his birthday into a disaster.

Martin, the Brave Prince* - Although the days of chivalry have long past, Martin braves the modern world and valiantly makes his wish to save a beautiful princess come true.

Rodney Scribble - When given his first pencil and paper, Rodney Scribble turns the land called Illegible upside down.

"Rodney Scribble cannot scribble.
Rodney Scribble can only write,"
They said half in a whimper, half in a scream.
"Call his parents. Call the Mayor," they cried.
"This kid can only write.
We'll never sleep another night."

The Smile Plant* - Micha has just lost her first baby tooth. But she doesn't want to stick with tradition by putting her tooth under her pillow. No, she wants to share her new smile with the world.

As a writer, storyteller, and educator, Robert (Max Tell) Stelmach has toured the Pacific Rim five times. In 1991 his play, "Wild Rose and Half Step", was nominated for a Jessie Richardson Theater Award for Best Children's Play of the Year. His story, "Fiezo, the book Burro" was runner-up for the 2007 Writing for Children Competition, sponsored by the Writersâ Union of Canada. Robert has two adult children and lives with his wife in White Rock, British Columbia.

Silvana Goldemberg was born in Entre Rios, Argentina, in 1963. Silvana is a teacher, specializing in Childrenâs Literature and Child Philosophy. She is a creator and organizer of literary spaces for children, an author of stories and novels for children and youth, and has over 14 published stories. Silvana lives in Richmond, British Columbia with her husband and their two daughters, discovering new literary horizons by writing for TV and film.

Chris Kelly, arranger and accomplished, is a versatile guitarist. He has worked with Max for over five years. They have appeared at many local childrenâs events and festivals, including the Vancouver International Storytelling Festival, and the Vancouver International Childrenâs Festival, the latter to standing room only.
