We're going on Book Tour!

Come join us! 

Next week we are going on our national tour to share Lola Dutch, I Love You So Much with thousands of kids...and we would love to see you if you are close to any of these 6 cities! We'll be visiting schools and bookstores, and we're thrilled to be hopping through the southern states...we hope to see you there! 

Get a signed and personalized copy! 

Not close? Each of these bookstores will have signed copies of the book, and many of you have asked how you can get signed copies. All you need to do is call up the store, and place and order, as we'll sign (and personalize!) your book for you while we are there! And they'll ship it to you directly:) 

You call or email Square Books, Lemuria Books, Little Shop of Stories, McIntyre's Fine Books, The Country Bookshop or Blickenstaff's and order your copy from them directly. If you order from them before next week, we can personalize and write a message if you'd like! 

Get your FREE Friendship Kit!

When you purchase Lola Dutch, I Love You So Much from any location, you can submit your proof of purchase HERE and we'll send you our 40 page PDF kit of Valentine's and Kindness activities! Once you read the book, your kids will be bursting with ideas on how to show friendship and kindness...and we've made this kit so they can! (But only through Feb 13th 2020…after that you can find it in our shop!)

We hope to see you on tour, or send you a signed copy, or get your free kit! Any of the above make us excited to share with you this month! 

Cheers!

Introducing: Lola Dutch Fabric!

I’m thrilled to announce that my latest fabric collection, Lola Dutch, is out for purchase!

This collection is, of course, near and dear to my heart in that it’s all things Lola Dutch!

I used art and illustration from the first two books as inspiration, and I hope you love it as much as we do!

Staying true to the colors from the books, there is a mix of soft pastels but a lot of bright and bold color. But, like the other Sarah Jane fabrics, it’s still classic and easy to match with other collections.

Lola Dutch LOVES to learn, read and create and so each print has a flair of just that. Matisse is her favorite “Great Master” from the first book….

In the second book she can’t decide what she wants to be when she grows up…so she learned about everything…

She LOVES to read, and enjoys trips to the library and Bear’s Den in her yellow wagon…

And of course, she loves her friends Bear, Crane, Gator and Pig!

This collection has 26 pieces and they all coordinate together.

Lola Dutch When I Grow Up releases today!

Today is the day!

Lola Dutch When I Grow Up is officially out in the world, and we are thrilled that we can finally share it!

Like our first book, this story explores the insatiable curiosity and over the top imagination of a spunky girl and her love of books. This time, books take her through the world of what she could BE when she grows up, and her anxiety to decide has her discovering so many amazing things. And yet….does she need to decide now?

Lola Dutch When I Grow Up is also a wonderful companion to the first book, in that it has creativity built into the book itself!

Watch the video and see how Lola Dutch keeps us all creative and curious even after we close the book!

Thank you to all who have pre-ordered, and we hope you enjoy this second book in this picture book series!

Lola Dutch, When I Grow Up

Lola Dutch, When I Grow Up is finally available for Pre-Order!

As the second book in the series, this is an exciting extension of the first book, but with even more drive coming from Lola who simply can’t decide what she wants to be when she grows up! This is an urgent and intense search! No time for tea or toast, she tells Bear. She explores the options of performing on the grand stage, becoming an inventor, a botanist, as well as many more fun and exciting careers. But it’s all TOO MUCH! How can she decide? With the help of Bear, she comes to a satisfying conclusion, reminding us all of the importance of letting kids be kids, and encouraging them to be curious about everything!

When you pre-order Lola Dutch, When I Grow Up, you can submit your proof of purchase HERE so you can get your FREE PDF CURIOSITY KIT in your inbox the day of launch! The CURIOSITY KIT will be much like the FREE CREATIVITY KIT we released with the first book (which is now on sale HERE): 30+ pages of downloadable activities, games, crafts, lesson plans, recipes, coloring pages and parent creativity guides all supporting this over the top and enthusiastically creative Lola Dutch! Definitely worth it to pre-order as it’s super simple to submit! For any questions, please refer to the FAQ page on the pre-order page. We are also delighted that the USA, UK and AUSTRALIA are open to pre-ordering!

We are so excited to have the second book so close to publication! Kenneth and I will be on a small book tour in January as well! You can visit HERE to see events we currently have planned. We hope to see you there!
