Prairie Lights Kids

Award-Winning New Title by Michelle Edwards

The accolades are rolling in: Winner of the 2023 Kate Greenaway award for outstanding writing in a picture book, and a Coretta Scott King illustrator honor book!

All the highs and lows of having a bossy, protective, and loving older sibling are depicted in this heartwarming picture book by a critically acclaimed author and award-winning illustrator. Meet Lee, a little boy who won't give up until he learns how to sew, and Zora, the sister who watches him try--and ultimately succeed!

Michelle Edwards holds an M.F.A. in Printmaking from the University of Iowa where she first explored stories and pictures in hand-bound editions of letterpress books. She is the author and illustrator of many award-winning books for children including A Hat for Mrs. Goldman, illustrated by G. Brian Karas. She is also the creator of an adult title, A Knitter's Home Companion. She chronicles her maker’s life on https://www.moderndailyknitting.com/. Most days you can find Michelle in her Iowa City studio, working with her pens, brushes, piles of paper, and notebooks filled with story ideas.

We have signed copies in the children's department.

Congratulations, Michelle!

Rainbow Rowell at Prairie Lights!

Thank you to Rainbow Rowell for her wonderful visit to Prairie Lights. Rowell’s new book, Scattered Showers (YA ages 14- 17), contains nine beautifully crafted love stories. Girl meets boy camping outside a movie theater. Best friends debate the merits of high school dances. A prince romances a troll. A girl romances an imaginary boy. And Simon Snow himself returns for a holiday adventure. It’s a feast of irresistible characters, hilarious dialogue, and masterful storytelling—in short, everything you’d expect from a Rainbow Rowell book! She's the author of Eleanor & Park, Fangirl, Attachments, Landline, Pumpkinheads, and the Simon Snow trilogy.

We have signed copies of Scattered Showers and the Simon Snow trilogy, and of paperback copies of Fangirl.

Books can be ordered here, or you may call (319)337-2681(during store hours).
