Books with author Nora Anderson

Our story is a 42 page colorful children’s book that blends the true spirit of the season with the fun and imagination of the holiday. We have hidden elves on every page and Mrs. Claus’ secret cookie recipe in the back of the book. Santa knows that he can handle making all the toys and games that children ask for but when he gets letters from kids asking for things that he can not provide he turns to Merryam. Merryam shares that no one, not even Santa can do everything alone. With prayer, faith and a little fun together they get it all done. The story was written while a young boy asked Santa to make his Mommy going through cancer better. The family told him that Santa could do many things but that God and prayer are the ones that could help her and anyone going through a difficult time in their life. Santa takes care of what the children want and Merryam prays for what they need.

It is not true that toddlers don't like fruits at least, it won't be true after leafing through this delectable board book. Faster than the pages are turned, youngsters will gobble their kiwi and apples! In her uniquely graphic drawings, Sara Anderson conveys through her brilliant use of color the tang of a lemon. Exactly matching the kinds of fruits to be found in the kitchen and on the table, these books will inspire young children to count, classify, identify, add to their vocabularies, and enlarge their repertoires of favorite foods.

E. Anderson, an American Master Storyteller, offers the fourth Boswell the Blue-eyed Beagle story. Boswell begins a search for the source of a most wondrous smell that leads him to discover a batch of Pam’s Positively, Most-Terrific, Saporific, Chomp-a-licious, Whomp-a-licious, Stickler for a Pickler, Only-a-Nickle-a-Pickle pickles. Yet before he can truly enjoy this newest discovery, he is confronted by another pickles ~ a wiggly, wuggly, bundle of snuggly, pink and white ball of fur. This second Pickles discovery leads to a first, and sadly, a last date, that reveals an even sadder pickle of a pickle. Boswell is unexpectedly confronted by prejudice, an issue he has never had to deal with before. But truth and good character wins out in the end as Boswell makes his choice. E. Anderson continues to present contemporary fables that make story telling as engaging for the listener as story reading is for the reader. Be sure to add this to your Boswell Collection.

Dazzling in its simplicity, exuberant in its palette, Sara Anderson's landmark board book still bursts with a freshness and energy twenty years after it was first published. It's unique graduated page design encourages the youngest child to discover the joy of color, to see the pages grow in size as the patterns of color appear. Colors shows a clarity and assurance perhaps reminiscent of the most jubilant of Matisse's cut paper collage. This is a book which is entirely in its element in a museum shop, but is most at home on the floor or a lap, being paged through, over and over, by young toddlers.
