Fur and Feathers by Janet Halfmann Giveaway {CLOSED}

Pin It
It's so important for children to have books. Books help them build their imagination and learn all at the same time. I am so excited to share a book with you that was written by someone almost in my backyard. Fur and Feathers is written by Janet Halfmann and she just happens to live about 5 to 10 minutes away from me!

FurFeatherss' Earthquake Escape

"When Sophia dreams that howling winds whisk the fur and feathers right off her animal friends, she shares some of her clothes with them. But her clothing doesn’t work well for the animals. Seeing their disappointment, she offers to sew each one the “right” coat. Animals line up to explain what they need and why. Polar Bear needs white fur to stay warm and hide in the snow. Fish needs scales, but with slime. Snake needs scales too, but dry ones. And how will Sophia make a prickly coat for Porcupine? The award-winning team of Halfmann and Klein (Little Skink’s Tail) reunite to bring animal coverings (and classification) to life in an imaginative way."

Melissa, thank you so much for hosting a giveaway of my new book Fur and Feathers, which just released yesterday! The illustrator and I appreciate it so much.

Kristen and Josefine, thank you so much for stopping by and for visiting my website. Good Night, Little Sea Otter will be out next month. It's very exciting for me to have two books releasing so close together! Happy Reading!

Hi Everyone,

Just dropping by to say thank you for your lovely comments and kind support. It is always wonderful to share the love of books and art and writing!

Janet Halfmann http://www.janethalfmann.com said...

Busy Working Mama and Deb C, so glad you stopped by and visited my website—and Hi to illustrator Laurie Allen Klein.
Little Skink's Tail is by the same publisher and same illustrator as Fur and Feathers. In fact, Little Skink appears in the new book (look at the bottom of the whirling storm) and Laurie put the book on the shelf in Sophia's room! What fun!
Seven Miles to Freedom is one of the very favorite books I've written because it tells the story of an amazing man and great role model—besides being an amazing adventure.

I think another one I like, especially because I think the smaller children would really enjoy it is Good Night, Little Sea Otter.

Thanks so much to everyone stopping by Melissa's blog and checking out my website.
ifhpueblo and Eileen, Good Night, Little Sea Otter will be out in September. I agree that the little ones will especially like it.
Linda, Little Skink's Tail is very close to my heart because it was my first published fiction book. Laurie Allen Klein gave Little Skink so much personality!
