Love is love.

I know there is so much more work to be done, but I do feel a lot more hopeful right now. 

Even though I'm Canadian, the SCOTUS decision to legalize same sex marriage in all fifty states has buoyed my spirits. Because people are people everywhere. And it's all love, when you open your heart.

Book cover sneak-peek! (and Goodreads Giveaway)

Where was I? Oh right, so my next book, Motherhood, is set to launch on April 28th. JUST IN TIME FOR MOTHERS DAY.

"This is the universal story of motherhood, from the gentle moment of birth to the inevitable letting go. In the playful and poignant simplicity that is her signature style, JC Little has captured the tender bond between mother and child. A timeless and wordless picture-book for mothers, sons and daughters of all ages."

Some of you might remember the bare bones of the story as blogpost. I want to bring it to a wider audience, so I fleshed it out into a book with completely new drawings.

1. This book is wordless. Pictures only. And if you get the Kindle version, the page flips animate. So it's like watching a little film. Feel free to hum a little soundtrack to yourself as you read.


2. It's for all ages. It's the kind of book that might be given by anyone experiencing mother-appreciation sentiments. Sons and daughters can give it to their moms. Moms can give it to their sons and daughters to help foster an understanding of the experience of motherhood. I'd want to give it to a new or expectant mom, a teen or young adult leaving home for the first time...and children who like to make up the words to the story themselves. I loved doing that when I was small.

NB: some teenagers react to this book by sobbing on the sofa and needing cuddles.


3. Did I mention that this book will make a perfect Mothers Day present? It'll be available as a paperback. Think of it as a really, really special card. I even included a clear page at the beginning for you to write or draw a little note (I am nice).


4. This is happening:

Pickle Weasel February.

That lovable scallywag Pickle Weasel is hi-jacking my cartoons again.

You can wait to see them month by month or be groovy and get the calendar.

Lil' Valentines For KIDS.

If you're as disorganized as me, you maybe didn't get it together to go and buy those Valentines Day cards for your kids. Maybe Mom thought Dad was gonna do it, or vice versa.

These are for you! They are *free*. You can have 'em in colour or black & white (a cool option for those who are limited to black & white printing OR the kids wanna colour it themselves. I'm thoughtful, right?)

Um, I tried to allow for every situation...I guess you could also use these as grownup cards.

Getting kids to make their own Valentines Day cards is fun too.

And here's a game for kids called Rosie's Heart from my site for littlies; just click the pic.
