Chrysalis Books: teach your child to read!
Wendy’s students have been enjoying these books for some time now, but they will soon be available to the general public. While these books are very simple, only eight pages each, each book contributes to the story within the series. Not only the mechanics of reading are taught, but the love of reading as well. Each page is accompanied with playful illustrations, which Wendy also illustrated, using the basic shape technique that she uses every day when teaching arts and science.

My Friend the Butterfly
Retail $18.95, sale priced $15.95
A few years ago, as we prepared to set our butterflies free, my students and my children began asking, “Why?” As I answered those questions, an idea for a book arose. I set about writing it, then asked my sweet daughter Suzy (8) to paint the pictures. It was a wonderful experience for the both of us. As we our finished story, many hidden lessons began to unfold in front of our eyes. It had turned into a book that was much more than a story about the butterfly life-cycle: how to cope with loss, and the mother-daughter connection were the hidden gems we found! We hope you’ll love it as much as we do, and find some gems of your own in the pages of our treasured book. xo Wendy and Suzy
