"I read this book to my son everyday.  He loves it!  All the characters have become part of our lives.  Thanks for writing such a sweet book!"
Autumn Stories
written and illustrated by Marty Layne
 
Little Blue Feather and his animal friends get ready for winter in this small format paperback book .  I was inspired to write by the beautiful sunny days we had in September.  I wrote two stories about Little Blue Feather and his friends and illustrated them with my needle felted animals and a little doll I made a few years ago.   The first story is Little Blue Feather Is Surprised.  The second story is Little Blue Feather and the Rabbits.  I hope you'll enjoy the book as much as I enjoyed writing and illustrating it. 
 
32 pages, illustrated with colour photographs,
4.25" wide x 5.5" high

"a delightful little book sure to enchant children of all ages"

Little Blue Feather Is Surprised
first story in the book Autumn Stories
 
Once upon a time on a fall day, Little Blue Feather  was sitting by a pumpkin.  He was thinking about the changing weathering, wondering if the woodland creatures had harvested enough food for the winter. (page 1 of the story, page 4 of the book)
 
 
Nutkin was sorting though his acorns when he heard a "Woof."  He looked out of the top of the pumpkin.... (page 10 of the book)

  
 
Little Blue Feather and the Rabbits 
second story in the book Autumn Stories

    "We're going for a walk.  do you want to come?" said Little Brown.
 
   “OK.  Let’s go to the meadow
where there’s some sweet  green grass.”

   “That’s a good idea, Grey Ears,”
said Little Blue Feather.    
“Jackie Frost was here last night.  
I saw his ice sparkles in the grass this morning,
and that means Winter is coming soon.
You and Little Brown need to get fat and furry
and that grass will help.”   (from page 23)
