Autumn Stories
written and illustrated by Marty Layne
 
Little Blue Feather and his animal friends get ready for winter in this small format paperback book .  I was inspired to write by the beautiful sunny days of September.  I wrote two stories about Little Blue Feather and his friends and illustrated them with my needle felted animals and a little doll I made a few years ago.   The first story is Little Blue Feather Is Surprised.  The second story is Little Blue Feather and the Rabbits.  I hope you'll enjoy the book as much as I enjoyed writing and illustrating it. 
 
36 pages, illustrated with colour photographs,
4.25" wide x 5.5" high
To order, see below.  I ship worldwide.
 
"Captivating and irresistible!"

"These two little stories about the coming of winter are told in
language simple enough for young children to understand
and interesting enough to engage older children. The illustrations
add just the right touch of charm. A welcome addition
to stories about fall."   
 
"Autumn Stories is absolutely enchanting."
 
 
 
 
 
 
Little Blue Feather Is Surprised 
first story 10 pages long in Autumn Stories
 
Once upon a time on a fall day, Little Blue Feather  was sitting by a pumpkin.  He was thinking about the changing weathering, wondering if the woodland creatures had harvested enough food for the winter. ...
 
Nutkin was sorting though his acorns when he heard a "Woof."  He looked out of the top of the pumpkin. ...
 
 
 
Little Blue Feather and the Rabbits 
second story, 17 pages long in Autumn Stories

    "We're going for a walk.  Do you want to come?" asked Little Brown.
 
   “Sure.  Can we walk over to the meadow where there’s some very sweet green grass?”

   “That sounds like a good idea, Grey Ears. You both need to get fat and furry and that grass is just the thing. Winter is coming soon. I know because Jackie Frost was here last night. I saw
his ice sparkles in the grass this morning, " said Little Blue Feather.
