Holiday Snowy Owl Children’s Book Shopping!

Even if you don’t live in NE Minnesota and thus are not able to attend my roll out book event next Saturday, October 26th (details at bottom of post), I am offering a “roll out special” on my new children’s picture book. Through next Saturday I’ll pay the shipping costs ($2) which means you get the book for $12 total. You have to use the PayPal button found immediately under the picture of Snowy.

Snowy’s Search for Color (free pdf download)

Follow the adventures of a young Snowy Owl as it flies south from its home on the Arctic Ocean in search of color! The owl meets up with other owls, red foxes, and even Smokey the Bear! It is a magical journey.


The event is over. Thanks for your support!
