“Pee up a Tree is authentically Jim Henson..." Jane Kirkpatrick bestselling award-winning author of All Together in One Place

“Pee up a Tree is authentically Jim Henson -- my former boss.  It’s inventive, irreverent  and therapeutically wise.  The characters of Jim’s early life in rural community mental health in Oregon  are singular and memorable; the trials and triumphs worthy of cheering.  This is one man’s  journey of service through parenting, teaching and healing, acts the world needs more of.  Enjoy!”  Jane Kirkpatrick, bestselling award-winning author of the non fiction, Homestead:  Modern Pioneers Pursuing the Edge of Possibility, and novels A Tendering in the Storm and A Flickering Light.


Jim Henson and Arborwood Press thank Jane Kirkpatrick, author of 19 books to date. Jane Kirkpatrick's A Tendering in the Storm won the 2007 WILLA Literary Award for Best Original Paperback and A Flickering Light, a story based on her grandmother’s life as a turn of the century photographer, was named to Library Journal’s Best Books of 2009. Her just released book An Absence So Great, is the sequel to A Flickering Light.


Jane's endorsement of Jim's work is huge coming from an author who is so successful. My wife and I read her works as they come out. We attended her "book talks" when she visits the High Desert Museum periodically and come away, enlightened, and entertained. 

We are about a day away from the final piece on Jim's book and announcing the availability of it.
 We have review copies available now. If your hometown newspaper has a book section and you can help us connect with it for a review, how about contacting us.
