Our first book in the “A Critter’s Tale” series will be coming to bookshelves near you in Autumn 2025!
Author Christine Joy Swanson spent much of her time in years 2020 through now with the critters in and around the place she lives. Some encounters with the critters were better than others... With the many unexpected hours given to her, a book of stories have emerged. What are all of these critters up to anyways? What is their side of the story? This was Christine’s writing inspiration. Christine Joy is an accomplished painter and art teacher, yet here she is delighting in a new medium of creativity - writing!
Illustrator Sarah Joy Silva is a talented classical watercolorist who has a special love and mindfulness for all things in nature. The critter’s tales told in this book could not have had a better artist to illustrate their stories. Children’s books are meant to be things of beauty - for all to enjoy - and Sarah’s artwork is loved and cherished by children and adults alike.
No one knows the author better than the illustrator - not only do they share the same middle name (Joy), but Christine and Sarah were housemates for over 8 years! These friends have enjoyed dreaming about and telling the stories of “A Critter’s Tale.” They can’t wait to share with you their book in Autumn 2025!
