What will Kentucky Book Festival visitors find on your table?

On my table, readers will find two new picture books, THE VOICE IN THE HOLLOW and LITTLE RED. A review of THE VOICE IN THE HOLLOW frames the book quite well:

★ “Hillenbrand at his best. . . . Hillenbrand’s snowy landscapes are sumptuous, at times cozy, at times ominous. The surprise of the stranger will shock many first-time readers, making for a memorable tale that will enchant little ones and storytellers alike. A ghost story you’ll love to share!” -Kirkus Reviews.

Enter LITTLE RED! A cute-as-a-button pickup truck with a mighty spirit and a heart of gold. Little Red will stop at nothing to help his neighbors—the show must go on! For Katy and the Big Snow fans, meet everyone’s hero; Little Red, determined to help his many vehicle friends in this winter holiday.

Something curious about me, my mother said I was born with a pencil in my hand; I’ve been drawing every day since then because I love making pictures.
