Whining Grapes is a collection of word-play riddles aimed at having fun with the different meanings words can have. Venture a guess before turning each page or simply sit back and watch as each riddle takes shape. Barney Connaughton is an attorney/mediator in San Diego, California. One day seemingly out of nowhere a steady stream of riddles started forming in his head. The riddles persisted and after finding great joy in trying them out on his own children it seemed only right to share them with others. Michele Connaughton is a Retinal Angiographer in Portland Oregon who many years ago told her little brother, Barney, that he was going to write a b ookand that she was going to provide the illustrations. This book is a manifestation of that childhood vision. In the spirit of imagination and creativity, a portion of any proceeds received from this book will go to support the mission of the Waldorf School of San Diego.
