This exhibition brings together works related to three of her books: Miss Rumphius, Hattie and the Wild Waves, and Eleanor. The Bowdoin College Museum of Art holds a major collection of her paintings and drawings. One of the things I love about the illustrations is the use of the color blue on each page. A two-time Caldecott Medal winner, Cooney is known for beautifully illustrated books such as her adaptation of Chaucer's The Nun Preist's Tale (Caldecott Winner, 1959), and Miss Rumphius, winner of both the American Book Award and a New York Times citation in 1982. Barbara Cooney is a beloved author and artist of more than 100 children’s books. Not only did Barbara Cooney write this sweet book, she illustrated Miss Rumphius as well.

Like Miss Rumphius, the late Barbara Cooney traveled the world, lived in a house by the sea in Maine, and, through her art, made the world more beautiful.

I feel as if I've come full circle, as my degree was in history as well as English, so I'm certainly making full use of what I learned at Northumbria. The Hidden People is set in Victorian rural society, and is about the murder of a young girl suspected of being a fairy changeling - it's loosely based on the case of Bridget Cleary, who was burned to death by her husband in 1895. My most recent novel has represented quite a change in direction, as I've moved into historical fiction. After a time they started to be selected for several 'Year's Best' anthologies, and I started working on writing a novel. I joined a local writing course and wrote for the love of it, gradually moving into dark fantasy and horror and getting short stories published in various magazines and anthologies. I've always loved books and I think I always harboured a secret dream of having my name on the cover one day.

This heartwarming, timeless story is perfect for fans of Rebecca Stead and Ingrid Law. From beloved and bestselling author Lauren Myracle comes the first book in an enchanting trilogy about three sisters, the magic of traditions, and the extraordinary power of hope. In the end, I got that swoony feeling back, so I’m choosing to round up my rating. This was an EASY 5-star rating for me for much of the book, but the lackluster middle almost pulled that rating down. Trying to figure out his thoughts was half the fun – it’s told exclusively from the heroine’s point of view, which was good for most of the book (puzzling out the hero kept me engrossed), but detrimental in the middle (when the heroine was bugging me and I couldn’t get a read on the hero). The first few scenes had me absolutely hooked, and the mysterious, gruff hero has such a marshmallow heart. This HEA requires some patience and the journey to get there might make you want to shake some sense into the heroine, but I loved the vast majority of it. Slow burn lovers, this one’s for you! And the best news? This is a complete standalone, so if you’re new to Penny, it’s the perfect place to jump in.
