The Little Blue Cottage

by Kelly Jordan

The little blue cottage waits each year for summer to arrive―and with it, the girl. Through sunny days and stormy weather, the cottage and the girl keep each other company and wile away the long days and nights together. Until one year, and then another, the cottage is left waiting and empty season after season. In this heartfelt story about change, Kelly Jordan's lilting text and Jessica Courtney-Tickle's lush art captures the essence of cherishing a favorite place. * Winner of the 2021 SCBWI Crystal Kite Award * Winner of the 2020 Northern Lights Book Award in the Family Category and Cover Art Category
