Featured Book: In A Jar

by Deborah Marcero; illustrated by Deborah Marcero
Children’s Picture Book • G. P. Putnam’s Sons • Published Jan. 21, 2020

Excerpt from Penguin Random House: Here’s a marvelous picture book, charmingly written and beautifully illustrated, about the power of memory and the magic of friendship.

Llewellyn, a little rabbit, is a collector. He gathers things in jars–ordinary things like buttercups, feathers, and heart-shaped stones. Then he meets another rabbit, Evelyn, and together they begin to collect extraordinary things–like rainbows, the sound of the ocean, and the wind just before snow falls.
