This is her first exploration into the children's literary world. Callie's positive outlook on life and ability to overcome hardships is reflected in the main character as we take this first journey with Pinkacorn.
This book was inspired by Callie's niece Paisley, who first discovered a stuffed "pinkacorn" in the aisles of a local toy store. As she reflected on the idea, Callie realized she wanted to tell a story about growing up different while still being able to discover the things that we share in common with others.
The original art that brings Pinkacorn's journey to life was created by Anneliesa (Lela) Liedle. Lela and Callie met on a trip while teaching English in Southern China, and the influences of that trip shine through in the mixed media art of Pinkacorn.lihat lebih sedikit
