WISHWEAVER is in the SCBWI Bookstop!
Here’s just one more way to get your copy of Wishweaver today!
Here’s what School Library Journal, other authors, and reviewers are saying about Whimsy’s first tale:
Gr 2-4-In this new series entry for young readers, Winter spins a creative and fantastical tale about friendship and responsibility…Weyburn is an immersive and rich backdrop that would lend itself well to a sequel. Large black-and-white images accompany the text, helping bring Winter’s universe to life. The illustration style is buoyant and cute, infusing the story with a cheerfulness that will delight adult and child readers alike. The instructions to crochet Whimsy make for a fun addition, likely to be enjoyed by young crafters… this book is a unique take on the “genie in a bottle” story… —School Library Journal
