Picture Book Friday

 Hello everyone!

I'm delighted to announce that two of my picture books are now available as eBooks at Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

GRACIE JANE has a heart as big as the Western sky, and she's always ready to lend a helping hand. So, she doesn't think twice about rescuing Fifi La Rue and taking the lost pup home.

After all, how much trouble could one little dog be on a great big ranch?

It's nonstop fun and excitement when one good deed turns this cowgirl's life upside down!​

Tumble, written and illustrated by Adriana Hernández Bergstrom, tells a visual story of a tumbleweed’s journey.

The illustrations are the highlight here where the minimalist rhyming text (only about 25 words) provide a concise summary of the action. The narrative traces the tumbleweed through growing and flowering to the moment it breaks free to scatter seed as it races before the wind.

Following the story is a double page spread with names and images of plants and animals that share the habitat of tumbleweeds. An additional page provides more facts and a step-by-step illustration of the tumbleweed’s lifecycle.

The simplicity of word and picture makes this a perfect book for young readers and an excellent introduction to a study of this unique plant.

 Recommended for home and school libraries.
