I have met many wonderful blogging friends over the last couple years and I am very excited to highlight one of them today!
I met Cathy Kennedy a few months ago and received an autographed copy of her new children’s book
The Tale of Ole Green Eyes. I was so excited because how cool is it that my son is getting an autographed book from a wonderful writer and now she is my friend!
Anyway, after I received the book I read it to both my children and they and I both LOVED it!
The story is about two young sisters who visit their Grandparents in the woods of West Virginia. Grandma tells them a story about a black panther she had a run in with when she was young, which she calls “‘Ole Green Eyes.” This story is actually based on a real encounter Cathy’s Grandma had in West Virginia when she was young.
The story is set in the Appalachian Mountains, near the Grandparents home. After the two children bake some cookies and go on a picnic with their grandparents they decide to head out for a little adventure on their own into the woods. Could they have the same run in as their Grandma did when she was young?
This book consists of 25 pages of illustrations done by Leann Vineyard Cooper. It is a quick read and kept my children very interested in the outcome of the two sisters’ adventure.
