So looking forward to you seeing Brave Old Blue this April. #kirkusreviews posted “A heartwarming charmer.” @colleenmuske.bsky.social wrote a tender story that was so fun to illustrate. You can preorder wherever you buy your books. Giddy up! #kidlit #childrensbooks #sleepingbearpress

Phaea's face on the head of the famous Patty big foot image An ad for a company called. Oh dear, edited to say all natural defense for not having a picture book about an introverted Sasquatch and deer pre-order now. A cartoon about gardening with the expectation of being one with nature and the reality being swearing about deer being annoying The cover of the picture book oh dear featuring Jasper, the Sasquatch running angrily at two deer who are eating turnips

I love apple pie! And author #BethCharles has delivered! “Apple Pie Tired” is a story about young Lola who plans to help her parents at Thanksgiving by making the lunch. Instead, she helps them make hundreds & hundreds of pies! A delicious & fasinating story. #hannahbrinson #sleepingbearpress
