Summer Lies and Blackberry Pies

Mississippi, 1968. One Summer. One secret. One unforgettable love.

by Sandy Little (Goodreads Author)

When Shelby Montgomery meets River Martin—a dreamy blues singer from the wrong side of the tracks—she falls fast and hard. Her Mama wouldn’t approve, but Shelby can’t stay away. With the help of her best friend Liberty, she hides their romance in moonlit getaways, drive-in kisses, and whispered promises by the pond. Summer Lies and Blackberry Pies is a coming-of- age romance about a forbidden love, best friends, and the kind of summer that lives on in memory long after it’s gone.

Montgomery Rabbit

by Sandy Little (Goodreads Author), David Wenzel (Illustrations)
Adventures and mysteries await a young lop-eared rabbit when he accidentally falls through a hole in an old white fence.

Along the way, he meets a field rabbit named Bentley, and the two are off in search of a legendary raspberry patch. Their mission is treacherous, and Montgomery will come face-to-face with predators he's never known before - coyotes, hawks, and even a rattlesnake! But the two rabbits find that by helping each other and by accepting the help of a few new friends, they just might reach their treasure: a patch of juicy red raspberries!

Montgomery and Bentley's adventure is one of danger, excitement, and self-discovery, as the rabbits learn important life lessons and discover a friendship to last a lifetime.

My Little Green Umbrella is such a heartwarming, whimsical, cozy read for children about a little girl who gets an umbrella and goes on many magical, imaginative adventures with it until she grows up and puts it away. A young boy then finds the umbrella and has many magical adventures too. But yet again, the umbrella gets put away as the boy grows older. One day the girl, who's now an old lady, finds the umbrella again and reminisces on her adventures with her son (the boy).

This book transported me back to my childhood with the beautiful, whimsical illustrations and delightful tale

Edit: my four-year-old has now requested rereads of this book. So it gets the PreK stamp of approval.

I received an advanced copy of this children’s book through NetGalley.
My Little Green Umbrella is a story of imagination and focuses on how an everyday object is not only useful but can encourage imaginative play through generations

The Library's Ghost

This is a very sweet little story about the magic of a child's imagination and the joy our childhood items can bring us and others. This story reminded me greatly of my childhood favorites, some of which I still have. While they are worn down and aged in many ways, their love and magic still remain. This story perfectly encompasses those connections and memories in just a few short pages.
