“IT WAS JUST A SCHOOL ASSIGNMENT UNTIL IT BECAME A LIFESAVING MISSION.”

Fetching Dreams by Mary Evanson-Bleckwehl is an inspiring chapter storybook that tells a tale of friendship and making a difference, aimed at middle school aged children. Abby and Neyah are pen-pals who begin to learn about each other’s lives. Neyah lives in a small village in rural Kenya, where they struggle to have the bare necessities to survive- and Abby who lives in Minnesota USA, in a city with all the modern conveniences we all take for granted. This story takes us on a journey of friendship, coming together to problem-solve to make things happen. It’s about collaboration and co-operation and overcoming challenges. Can two twelve-year-olds come together to find a way to bring fresh water to a remote village. You really should read this heart-warming story to find out
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Mary Evanson Bleckwehl!

Arrrgh! Me HATE to Wait! by Mary Evanson Bleckwehl is a fun and engaging illustrated children’s storybook. It has a fun adventure to follow while teaching children all about patience. The illustrations are fabulous, bold, and bright- bringing the whole story to life. The characters are well-developed, quirky, and likeable…. Making for quite a fun time.
Half-Pint Porky has been excitedly awaiting being able to attend pirate school. But when the big day finally arrives her nerves get the better of her. She is having second thoughts and things get quite interesting.
My grandson loved reading this book with me, and especially loved all the pirate jargon and references. Can’t wait to read more from Ms. Evanson Bleckwehl.
Happy Reading!

Thank you, Mary Evanson Bleckwehl!
