Morning everyone!
It’s the season, and to celebrate I thought I’d take a few moments to read my picture book, Merry Christmas, Merry Crow, which is beautifully illustrated by Jon Goodell..
Okay, I bobbled a couple of the lines, but it’s not that easy reading to yourself in the mirror image of my laptop. Give a girl a break.
And I also know that the video truly doesn’t do justice to the beautiful art that Jon created for this book. Here’s a better look at the cover:
Jon also illustrated my book, Alley Cat’s Meow, and as a bonus, here’s one of the spreads from that:
So here’s to reading a great picture book to the little and big ones in your family. Is there anything better than that? I think not.
Calloo, callay y’all!
Thank you!
We (me and my kids) enjoyed listening to you read this story to us. What a delight.
Merry Christmas to you.

What a stunningly beautiful book, both the writing and the illustrations. Keeper arrived at my house today so I have another of your beauties to look forward to. Thank you for the gifts you’ve given your readers. Merry Christmas, Merry Crow! is lovely. Lovely.
Sheila–thanks!
Reading into a laptop camera is tricky and I think you did a fantastic job! Loved the lyrical writing and beautiful illustrations with the double twist “aha!” at the end. (The background music was a nice compliment.)
