The Lady and The Mouse
The Lady and The Mouse is here!
My fourth children’s picture book, once again illustrated by Lisa Madenspacher http://www.lisamadenspacher.com, is now on the shelves at some of my favorite independent book stores and gift shops.

This heartwarming story is written in rhyming prose, a first for me. Nestled in a hard back 8×8 covering, this twenty page story is an easy read for elementary students. And the captivating illustrations give a young listener a lot to look at too. ( retail price $18.99)

INSPIRATION
I would like you to meet the inspiration for The Lady and The Mouse, my friend Ken Patton. I admire Ken’s artwork and photography. One day, he shared a pen and ink drawing with vibrant splashes of color. When I saw his clever English cottage picture, I immediately knew this would be the springboard for my newest story.

Known for his humility, Ken passed the torch to Lisa to take on the job as illustrator. But, Ken planted the seed. I am grateful to Ken Patton for sharing his lovely picture with me.
