This Sunday is Burns Night! Celebrating Robert Burns’ brilliant work as a poet is almost as good as a trip back to our favorite place in the world. In fact, the reason I wrote Blue Hears a Moo! was so every child could experience a bit of Scotland in a way they could appreciate it. And while I’m no Robert Burns, I do write the Bear in a Bow Tie series in rhyme so hopefully its fun to read aloud too (haggis not required but your best Scottish accent really brings Tickles MacGiggles, the Highland coo, to life!). Don’t have it yet? Here’s a special offer just for you:

What’s New?

While old man winter isn’t done yet, I’ve been busy working on something very springy—a new children’s garden story that will be blooming this March. Yep, Messy McFarlen and his Tomato Garden are being joined by some hilarious, new members of the Dirt Diggers Club (Sneak peek below). By the way, the schedule for TOMATOMANIA is now out! Find it HERE. Mark your calendars and come see us (my dates coming soon).

But before we set the kids free to dig in the dirt, its time to give the little ones in your life some Valentines Day love. Do you remember stuffing little paper cards in handmade classroom mailboxes to all your crushes.? While valentines may look different today, the feeling behind them doesn’t have to change. This year, I’ve created 2 offers on story-filled gifts perfect for sharing a book while the chocolate wrappers pile up.
