Absolutely Irresistible?

A Year With Mama Earth is a poetic exploration of the seasons.

Mama Earth rustles her autumn wings
to cool her hot, tired face.
She sighs, and the first September frost
crackles over bowing stalks of corn.

“With enchanting text and radiant artwork, A Year with Mama Earth offers a joyous celebration of nature’s beauty and the changing seasons.”

— THE CHILDREN'S BOOK COUNCIL

Violet and her little brother
set out on a long, long journey,
a journey fraught with danger
and peril.

Is Violet’s make-believe story just in her imagination?

With excitement and more than a few surprises, Violet and the Woof will have readers wide-eyed, smiling, and asking for the story again and again. Illustrated by Dasha Tolstikova.

“VERDICT A fun, lighthearted addition to most picture book collections.”

— SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL

Gliding through the moonlight
come the monsters big and small,
sliding up your stairway
and oozing down your hall.
They aren’t very scary,
in fact they’re rather sweet.
So snuggle into bed and let them whisper,
“Trick or treat!”

Ghastly ghouls count down to Halloween in this not-so-terrifying bedtime tale.

"Grabill Makes An Oft-Adapted Rhyme Feel Utterly Fresh..."

Publishers Weekly Starred reivew

Rebecca Grabill's first collection of poetry, published by Flying Ketchup Press, brings her readers home to rural Michigan and into the world of a woman on the path less traveled—wife, daughter, teacher, author, and mother of six.

Sweetened Condensed is two parts sugar, three parts milk: the life of a writer and mother of six encapsulated into raw moments of lyrical free verse with the author's black and white photography.

This is not a saccharine swig, but full-body, rich mouthful of poems and pictures that show the deep truth of family.

—Mary Logue, author of Sleep Like a Tiger

Beautifully illustrated with her black and white photos, the poems often surprise, frequently delight, and always satisfy.
