Grandparents and parents bring your little ones for a special story time on Saturday, May 2nd at 11 am. Children’s author Mary Casanova and Illustrator Jordan Sundberg will share their beautiful picture book, Northwoods Lullaby (University of Minnesota Press). They will read, demonstrate and talk about the unique process of collage for illustrations, and answer audience questions. This event is perfect for aspiring little artists, lovers of nature, and those adults who want to encourage non-screen time in those they love. Inspired by a lullaby Mary wrote for her newborn grandson, Northwoods Lullaby pairs lilting, lyrical language with warm, light-filled illustrations to celebrate spring, summer, and the joy of new life. All through the Northwoods, different wild animals join in. Come along as a child and their grown-up enjoy an evening hike. Loons drift by on the serene lake, a baby on papa’s back. On the banks nearby, swans hatch, and deer graze in the grass. Look, and you’ll find bear cubs climbing trees with mama, foxes and hares, and wolf pups playing in their den. Celebrating new life as spring unfurls,
Mary Casanova is the author of dozens of books for young readers, including Hush Hush, Forest and Wake Up, Island, both also published by the University of Minnesota Press. She and her husband live in a tiny cabin near Voyageurs National Park in northern Minnesota.
Jordan Sundberg is an artist and illustrator based in Duluth, Minnesota, where she lives with her husband, two daughters, and two bunnies. She is coauthor and illustrator of Fables of the North Shore.
