Dear friends,
I have a special offer for all parents, teachers, grandparents, aunts and uncles of children of all ages. My name is Jill Vanderwood and I am the author of Through the Rug. My book is a good read together book for parents or grandparents. It involves a magical adventure and a shared secret between a grandmother and her granddaughter.
When Grandma Emma signs up for cooking school, she soon finds out that she is learning magic. Her granddaughter is alarmed when Grandma’s formula to clean the dog has turned him pink and green.
While making a formula for more days in the week, the formula expands onto the kitchen rug. Grandma, her dog, Domino, and her granddaughter Alyssa fall through the rug. They find themselves in a magical place called Wishville, where all wishes are granted. They encounter fish that dance, pirates, and a gypsy fortune teller, before discovering the magic of more days in the week.
-Jill Vanderwood
