HIT: Aliki

[Kevin and Lorie Green <greens3@SWBELL.NET>]

Thanks to the many responses I received from my new friends at LM_NET.
These two responses seemed to be as close to the source as I could get.

Hi,
   I've had Aliki visit my schools 2 times and she is wonderful.  You
pronounce her name A-leak-ee.  It's greek, she grew up in Philadelphia,
her
grandparents were from Greece.  She uses her kids (who are now grown)
for
many of the children in her books.  She live in London near Regents Park

and
is married to Franz Brandenberg.  Her daughter, Alexa Brandenberg, has
also
begun illustrating.  Hope you have fun book-talking her things.

Answer to --How do you pronounce Aliki's name?

I wrote to a friend who is a niece of Aliki and here is her answer:

Aliki is pronounced Aah-Lee-Kee......accent on second sylable....the A
is
almost like the sound in obvious...quite short.  not like Athens.
