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 we had in 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. 

 

32 pages, illustrated with colour photographs, 4.25" wide x 5.5" high

Little Blue Feather and the Rabbits  (a 19 page story)

 

Little Blue Feather worked hard all morning picking up pinecones for his winter wood supply.  He was tired, so he sat down to rest. (page 1 of the story, page 15 of the book)

 

     "We're going for a walk.  do you want to come?" said Little Brown.

 

     "Sure.  Can we go 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..."
