I've been waiting to make this announcement, but it is official.  My book, Mouse's Christmas Gift, will be published in October, 2018 by HarperCollins Zonderkidz.  The illustrator will be the very talented Dow Phumiruk.  I am so excited to see this book come to life! The countdown begins!

Widow Barthomew's Strawberry Jam

Widow Bartholomew brings a jar of strawberry jam with her for the Christmas Eve party.  I wanted strawberry for the color--it seemed Christmasy and festive, even in a small community hit by hard times.  At the link below you can find directions telling you how to make your very own strawberry jam.  Good luck!  I would love to hear how it turns out!  And of course, if you have a recipe you would like to share--feel free!
