Letters from Lucy Loon is a heartwarming tale of community, curiosity, and the enduring love between a parent and child. Join Lucy Loon as she fiercely determines that she must experience the opportunity of living in the Northwoods for the winter instead of flying south with her mother, as loons do. With the help of the other parents in the Northwoods community, Lucy experiences winter with her Northwoods animal friends by learning how they live and survive in this cold climate with lots of snow. Lucy writes poems and notes on postcards to stay in touch with her mother, who reads them from her location in the warm waters off the Florida coast.
Young readers will relish learning about what animals do during cold winters, as well as have fun with the playful poetry that describes each scene. Parents will recognize the heart-aching pull of children determined to learn about life on their own terms and trusting a supportive community to help them achieve that.

Hisakuni, Sofia: -Sofia Hisakuni is an illustrator who lives in Minneapolis, MN. Her work is inspired by her upbringing in Japan, Minnesota, and time spent living in California. She enjoys illustrating creatures and nature with a balance of simplicity and charm. Her hand-drawn artwork captures the natural world that is unperformed and whole; small things made significant. Her work lives in the space between worlds--fusing the vast wilderness of Minnesota, warmth of California, and the quiet elegance and modern enchantment of Japan. Her art speaks to the tenderness within all of us.
