Lynn McCarrron started her professional career in the music industry, and after studying English and Children’s Literature, she worked as a journalist, writer and editor of children’s books before starting Baby Lullaby Gifts. Ginger Nielson is a full time children's book illustrator and author whose home and studio sit at the top of a hill, near the edge of a forest in semirural New Hampshire. There is a magic wand on her desk, a dragon in her basement, and a tiny elephant in her studio. Everything else is nearly normal.
Saskatchewan Lullaby is a beautifully rendered love song—a board book for young children that combines the natural beauty of the province with a soothing ballad. Children will be delighted with the gorgeous and playful illustrations, and grown-ups will be charmed by this sentimental tribute to the place they love. Readers can also listen to the song any time by scanning a QR code on the back of the book. This little book captures the essence of Saskatchewan through illustration and song, and makes a wonderful gift for locals and visitors alike … anyone who loves Saskatchewan.
Mary Jane Riemann is a classically trained musician who has performed, toured, and taught music. Many of her songs have been recorded and she has received critical acclaim for her work. Hear more at: www.maryjaneriemann.com FO R MO R E I NF O R MAT I ON
