We wanted to take a minute to highlight a Waxwing We wanted to take a minute to highlight a Waxwing Books reader favorite 😊🐥 Are you a fan of lighthearted romps with woodland creatures? On the other side of the old wooden bridge, deep in Piney Glen, Duck opens his mailbox to find a letter from Rabbit: Dear Duck, Please come! I lost my tooth. Duck sets out to find that tooth—it's a good-friend thing to do, after all. Along the way, he enlists help from Badger, Turtle, Squirrel, and Mouse. Can they be the kind of friends Rabbit most needs? This is the perfect story for little readers! Head to our website to grab your copy today.
Some stories are too important to be forgotten. Some stories are too important to be forgotten. During the Great Depression, families living deep in the Appalachian mountains had little access to books. But a group of determined women changed that. They rode horses and mules over steep mountain trails, carrying saddlebags full of stories to readers who were waiting eagerly for them. They were known as Packhorse Librarians. Books Up the Mountain tells their story with words by Caroline Starr Rose and stunning illustrations by Gabrielle Grimard. From blizzards to steep mountain paths, nothing kept the Book Women from bringing stories to eager readers—young and old. Head to the link in our bio to order now!
Books Up the Mountain: A Packhorse Librarian Story Books Up the Mountain: A Packhorse Librarian Story has made its debut in the world, and we couldn't be more thrilled by the love it's getting. We want to get this book up as many mountains as possible and into the hands of families who are looking for books that help them connect with their kids. So, a request: If you received your copy of Books Up the Mountain and love it as much as we do, would you leave a review of it on Amazon, Bookshop.org, etc? It won't require you to mount a mule or cross a rising stream (thank goodness, haha!) but it'll be a little thing you can do for the legacy of the Packhorse Librarians, all the same. And if you haven't had a chance to snag your copy, head to the link in our bio to order yours now!
