Freebie Friday: illustrated children’s book

Today I am giving away an unusual prize for the winner: an illustrated children’s book, Prairie Storms, written by Darcy Pattison

and illustrated by Kathleen Rietz. Kathleen and I are friends, and she’s offered this wonderful book that she’s illustrated for today’s Freebie Friday! And she’s going to personally sign the copy!

As you may know, I am an artist, so I appreciate things like this, and I think you will too.

Go to the publisher’s website, Sylvan Dell, for more information about the book, including a video.

This is what Kathleen says about herself:

Growing up in the Midwestern United States, I spent my childhood exploring creeks, plaines and fields, and have loved animals, nature and art all of my life. I feel most spiritually connected to God and to nature when I am creating art, so this book was an extremely rewarding book for me to illustrate, as it is all about animals enduring storms on the prairie each month of the year.

To see more of Kathleen’s art, go to her website where you can click on links to her art, such as this one!
