Introducing KATY CARES FOR THE ANIMALS
A new regional picture story book
By NH author/illustrator Katherine Bailey

"Kathy Bailey uses descriptive language to support the images she has created with deft pen and watercolors in KATY CARE FOR THE ANIMALS. ...the text creates clear pictures in the mind of the reader of a snowy evening and procession of animals led by Katy, as young Skyler feeds the farm livestock. Muted colors,with a punch of red in cap and mittens, support the look and feel of a snowy winter day." Review by Kindergarten/Reading Recovery teacher,
Eileen M. Dohrman, M. Ed.

Is Skyler a boy or a girls? Happily we cannot tell, so both can identify with the child in the red hat.

KATY CARES FOR THE ANIMALS is written for children two - seven years. A small book for small hands, this KATY book is soft covered, 24 pages long, and 6x9 inches in size. It was printed in Williamstown, VT.  


About the author: In writing and illustrating KATY CARES FOR THE ANIMALS, Katherine Bailey drew on much that is familiar to her from living on farms in New Hampshire and Vermont. She graduated with a degree in elementary education from Castleton State College, and taught reading in Vermont schools. Teaching and literacy are dear to her heart, and this children's book reflects her experience.
