Grandma Gatewood ~ Booklist Review!

GRANDMA GATEWOOD HIKES THE APPALACHIAN TRAIL will be out in less than a month! Booklist calls it a “story of determination” and “an ode to the principle of walking down a road just to see what one can see.” (A perfect reason to take a walk, I think.) 💕

Grandma Gatewood ~ School Library Journal

“Beautiful illustrations and an emphasis on the value of nature, determination, and grit make this a great nonfiction selection for any library.” –from School Library Journal’s review of GRANDMA GATEWOOD HIKES THE APPALACHIAN TRAIL. (Here May 8th!)

More Bear and Bird. Also, Cookies.

I feel like I've been hibernating for much of the winter. Why go out when it's icy cold and snowy? Especially when it's nice and cozy in the studio, and I can do what I love best– write and make art.

But, oh yeah– we DO have this thing about making cookies every time it snows. And it has snowed a LOT this winter! (I am capable of eating more cookies than a bear. Heh!)

Here is a wonderful and very thoughtful blogger's review of Bear and Bird. Enjoy!
