"Corpus Christi author and retired teacher, Mariza Angeles Smith, is a person who lives her motto:  'Share your bananas.'  The Filipino native and former CCISD Teacher of the Year finalist recently visited Sacred Heart School students to spread the word there is great pleasure to be found in sharing your treasures with others.  That thought has provided the inspiration for her latest publication, a children's coloring/story book titles 'Monkey and Turtle.'  Based upon a Philippine folk story, the book tells a tale of two friends divided by greed and meanness.  By singing, dancing, playing various musical instruments, and using colorful costumes and props, the author brought the story and its lesson to life for an obviously delighted group of primary and elementary Montessori students.  During the program children were chosen from the audience to portray a character in the tale.  The clever, fun-filled presentation helped the audience find the lesson in her story.  Illustrated by two talented Flour Bluff High School seniors, Cynthia and Christine Calmug, the $6.95 book will provide seed money to help publish Smith's future works;  'When I get to Heaven...What On Earth Am I Doing In Heaven!,' a collection of children's essays, and 'Come and Learn About the Philippines,' an elementary teacher's curriculum guide.  Smith has pledged the proceeds from the sale of her books to help in the construction of a Filipino-American Community Church and Center in Corpus Christi.  She really does 'Share her bananas.'
