Title for Tuesday
Quack and Daisy: Beyond the Meadow
Some of you may not know that I’m the author of Guide to Good Food, a high school food and nutrition textbook. I’ve spent the earlier part of this year focused on a major revision of that title, but I’m now happy to be able to return my focus to writing for younger readers.
I wanted to start a new feature that allows me to share about some of the books I’ve been reading lately. In one of the programs I’ve developed for school visits, I tell students one of my favorite things about being an author is the opportunity to meet other authors. One of the first people I met when I entered the picture book realm is children’s author Aileen Stewart. She’s become a dear friend as well as a respected mentor, and I’m delighted that I often have the chance to attend author events with her.
Aileen is the author of the Fern Valley series for early grade children. Each of these books is a collection of short stories describing the adventures of a crew of lovable animal characters. The latest in the series, Cooking in Fern Valley, even includes delicious recipes so readers can enjoy the fun and learning of making and eating a tasty food item that relates to each story.
In addition to Fern Valley, Aileen recently launched her Quack and Daisy picture book series. These titles feature a pair of unlikely friends: a duckling and a kitten. The second book in the series, Quack and Daisy: Beyond the Meadow, tells the tale of how these young friends choose to disregard the warnings of Momma Duck and venture into dangerous territory. Readers will love seeing these adorable characters chase butterflies and frolic through fields full of wildflowers. They’ll be filled with anticipation when Quack and Daisy get into a tight spot. And parents will appreciate the opportunity to reinforce the lesson that grownups establish rules for a reason: to keep children safe.
Thaniel and I hope you’ll check out some of Aileen’s titles. And now that we’re back in blog mode, we hope you’ll stop back here again soon!
