Mom's Choice Gold Award recipient!

An Award Winning MG chapter book based on some of the coolest parts of my childhood in the mountains of Northern California, this is the tale of a whimsical granny who shares her back-to-the-land lifestyle with two grandchildren. Mixing a dash of magical realism with the natural world, this story will delight fans of Mary Poppins and Pippi Longstocking alike. How would either of these priceless characters have handled living off the land? I think a lot like Granny does! But this story goes even deeper than that. This is also the story of Hazel, a child who is learning how to live with the anxiety she experiences. It can often disrupt the best of plans.

Stay tuned for more as Adventures with Granny launches this spring!
