Brief Description
I am a Canadian educator and writer seeking representation for The Red Island Collection, a series of six Anne of Green Gables-inspired board book primers that celebrate the trendy simple ‘cottage-core’ living. These books are designed for mamas and minis (early readers 0-5 years old). My primer collection offers a unique and untapped world of pets, community, time, seasons, and more. A minister praying in a church, the texture of a wool sheep, and the sounds of an old-fashioned washboard, are just a small glimpse into the wholesome world of this primer collection.
Thank you for your time and future feedback,
Michelle Nash
Synopsis
The Red Island Collection summary is outlined below:
KINDRED PETS (A Texture Primer): An introduction to tactile descriptions like sleek, rough, and fuzzy, with a focus on Avonlea pets.
MERRY MONTHS (A Calendar Primer): A counting journey from 1 to 12 through the seasons of Prince Edward Island.
DIVINE TIME (A Rhythm Primer): A daily routine tool that introduces clock reading and the passage of time.
COZY TOWN (A Community Primer): A guide to village landmarks that encourages children to spot the mail on every page.
TRUSTY TOOLS (A Sound and Action Primer): An interactive book of onomatopoeia that encourages children to act out farm and household tasks.
DARLING CLOTHES (A Fashion Primer): A study of Victorian materials like linen, gingham, and lace for different occasions.
Writer's Edge Notes
Simple and well-written text that introduces many characters from Anne of Green Gables. Will appeal to parents who loved the original book and want to share it with their children. Part of a six-book series.
