Winter Lullaby

Winter Lullaby
by Dianne White (Author) and Ramona Kaulitzki (Illustrator)
@ Amazon | Bookshop | IndieBound

Booktalk: Geese are calling, a chilly wind is blowing, and the sky is turning gray. Winter is on its way. For Mama Bear and Small Bear, that means it’s time to tuck into their den for a long sleep. But Mouse is scurrying by, and Chipmunk is still gathering nuts beside the lake. And look at Hare and Skunk, still romping through the leaves! Why can’t Small Bear stay up, too?

The author, Dianne White, is one of my former students.

And because 2022 is turning out to be yet another tricky year for planning ahead, I’m beginning the spring semester by sharing a new mini-comic for readers to use with one of my books once a week.

This week’s mini-comic, I am thankful for my family, is a do-it-yourself mini-comic for young readers to illustrate. After you enter your contact info in the form, the mini-comics library will email you a download link. Print your comic on 8.5×11″ paper in full-color or gray-scale (black ink only). Enjoy!
