There's a lake with a loon and two chicks. Sounds peaceful, right? Guess again.

Autorenporträt
Brenda Reeves Sturgis is a Maine author who began her writing journey in 2004 after attending a school visit by famed author Lynn Plourde. She is the author of 10 Turkeys in the Road and No Fun in the Sun for Santa. She and her husband Gary live on a lovely little lake where she listens to loons wail and watches an occasional moose meander across her backyard. She has four children and four grandchildren. Brooke Carlton began drawing in her thirties as an excuse to color in her own picture-book ideas. She arbitrarily chose pen and ink, with an old set of Winsor & Newton watercolors to fill in. The resulting combo and hot palette quickly became her trademark.. Her whimsical illustrations have appeared in children's magazines and books, private collections, commercial brochures and posters, mailing envelopes, and even large mural walls. Brooke works out of her tiny studio in the woods of rural Maine.
