Celebrate the Holiday Season with a Collection of New Amazon Indie Children’s Books!

The Christmas Witchling, an enchanting chapter book by D. Byron Patterson featuring the brave 8-year-old Witchling Tulie Flue, who struggles to set everything right after it all goes wrong in a heartwarming tale about courage, friendship and the wonder of the holiday season. Before deciding to indie publish his books, Byron had been telling his tales for years, holding the kids of friends and family spellbound

My thoughts:

My ten year old daughter and I read this book together.  We could not stop until we finished it. It's about a young witch "Tulie".  Tulie can't seem to do anything right.   But that doesn't stop her.  A well written book with beautiful illustrations. 

Captain No Beard and the Aurora Borealis, a charming winter’s tale and the newest addition to the award-winning Captain No Beard book series by Carole P. Roman, finds the daring pirate Captain No Beard and his loyal crew heaving anchor for adventure as they steer a course due north for the icy waters of the Arctic.

My thoughts:

Cute book.  My seven year old really enjoyed reading this book to me.  And the imagination of the characters in this book had you believing they were real pirates.  The author did a great job with her writing.  And the lesson was quite clear, that you should never take anything that doesn't belong to you.  This is a book that we will definitely read again.  Great illustrations!

Calling All Grammies – A Christmas Tale of Friendship

an inventive story by Flo Barnet features an intrepid grandma and her friends from around the world, who band together to save the day when Santa’s sleigh breaks down and can’t be fixed in time to take to the skies for Christmas.  

My thoughts:

My ten and seven year loved this book.  They thought it was funny reading about grammies who helped Santa.  They even had to call their grandmom after reading this book to ask her if Santa called her if she would recruit her grammie friends to help out.  Loved all the illustrations of the grammies and santa in this book.

Christmas on the Farm, an engaging rhyming picture book by Beau Blackwell, featuring a whole barnyard of adorably illustrated animals, reinforces that the true meaning of Christmas is about the spirit of friendship and giving to others.

My thoughts:

Another cute book.  Especially during the holidays.  All the animals are getting along, and the rhyming in this book was fun to read.  We have read this book quite a few times already at bed time, and I am sure will be read again.  The illustrations were cute also in this book.
