It still boggles my mind that in this country women only gained the right to vote less than 100 years ago. (August 18, 1920.) Guess what I'll be doing today?

LITTLE AUTHOR IN THE BIG WOODS is officially out in the world today!
Working on this book brought back so many good memories from childhood. (Yes, I wanted to be Laura.**) I was a huge fan of the Little House books and the TV show, of course. (Who wasn't, growing up in the 70's?!)
Here are some very early rough sketches, and a few pieces from the book. Also, there's still time to enter the Goodreads giveaway here.) Enjoy!
(**Me, circa 1976, in a skirt and bonnet made especially for our annual street picnic by my grandmother.)

There's a map inside...
And loads of illustrations big and small...
On almost every page...
Including drama! (Grasshopper plague!)...
And in the back there are recipes, games, and instructions for making a corn-husk doll. Fun!...
And under the dust jacket, one of my favorite things– a sweet silhouetted surprise that just about made me swoon. (I LOVE this special detail!)...
The actual book birthday is about three weeks away (September 16th), but you can pre-order a copy now if you'd like. (May I suggest your local independent bookstore?)
Yay! (Also, please excuse the phone-quality pictures!)

This arrived last week!
