Just got a big box of Lee's latest picture book, Kate, Who Tamed The Wind!

It's all about a little girl who befriends a neighbor and figures out an ingenious way to temper the winds atop the steep hill where he lived. Written by amazing kidlit writer Liz Garton Scanlon.

The story reminds me a bit of when we lived in Corbett, where gale force winds routinely buffeted the surrounding hills. We lived in a little house tucked down in a protected hully gully, but there were parts of town where the winds could get up past 100 mph!

Anyway, it's a lovely story, especially for all the tree lovers out there 😀 It's due out Feb. 6!

 

New picture book coming out soon!

We just love getting shiny packages in the mail!

It's a lovely book about a girl comes up with a plan to tame the wind by harnessing the power of trees. Written by award-winning author Liz Garton Scanlon.

It's due out in stores on 2/6/18.

Great review from Publishers Weekly!

A bit of good news in all this gloom 😀

Love, Santa, which Lee illustrated, got a great review from Publishers Weekly! It's a really beautiful story, so it's nice to see it get some love.

It's all about how a girl comes to learn the truth behind Santa, and how she carries on the spirit of Christmas. We will definitely read it to our little guy when he is a little older and ready to know that Santa is bigger than any one person 😉

It's written by the amazingly-talented Martha Brockenbrough, a Seattlite who has written a whole lot of books for young readers.

It's due out on 9/26!
