I just love this nature journal! It is chock full of beautiful nature writing, photography, and art . . . in case you're looking for something soothing and lovely to read in these stressful times. Lots of haiku and short poems. You can read free online, but holding the book with its smooth matte cover| Shutta Crum

Some news! My children’s book Grandpa Heaven (illustrated by Ruth McNally Barshaw) garnered a gold Royal Palm Literary Award at the annual Florida Writer’s Association conference. YAY! It’s a pretty rigorous competition (I know, as I also judge for it in categories I don’t enter.) and a great honor. Now Grandpa Heaven gets to wear| Shutta Crum
