Music. Life. Loss. And the singular sensation that is forever Patsy Cline. - Darius Rucker
Little Patsy Cline is a dreamer with grand and gleaming aspirations. She has a powerful voice and a generous heart - and she dreams of sharing both with the world.
Whether fizzing sodas in a soda shop, sewing a showy something, or piddling in the garden, Patsy imagines one day singing onstage at Carnegie Hall. And the Grand Ole Opry too. She muses about performing in Las Vegas as the very first female country artist to headline a show. She even daydreams about hearing hear her own voice booming in the air around her while listening to the radio.
Patsy's sleep dreams are filled with adventures and blazing color. Her fast asleep imagination is as big as her dreams and her heart.
As much as she loves sleep dreaming and daydreaming, Patsy's favorite dreams of all are her walking after midnight dreams. It's when she finds herself dream walking. She knows she's asleep, and yet somehow it all feels so very very real. It's when life and loss entwine and comfort. It's where imagination and possibilities come together with surprising and meaningful encounters.
A tender book about daydreams, sweet dreams and dream walking after midnight from Patsy Cline's daughter Julie Dick Fudge and Judith A. Proffer, award-winning author of Broadway Baby, Bondi & Poppy Help Heal the Planet and When We Stayed Home.
Illustrated by Yoko Matsuoka, a professional fantasy artist living in Northern Japan who specializes in creating evocative worlds and imagery for books, fine-art posters and games.
Patsy Cline made a profound and indelible impact on country music before a plane accident claimed her life in 1963. She remains one of the biggest names and influences in country music, and was one of the first country music singers to cross over into pop music. Cline recorded Walkin' After Midnight in 1957 and it became her first big hit, placing #2 on Billboard's country charts. The 1957 release was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2020.

A long, long time ago...
...in a small town, there lived a lonely newspaper boy. So begins this heartfelt story inspired by one of the most iconic works of American rock-n-roll. Don McLean's American Pie: A Fable weaves elements and themes from the classic song with experiences from the singer-songwriter's own early years into a stunningly visual and uplifting tale for all ages. This fable reveals the emotional journey of a newspaper delivery boy in the late 1950s who discovers the joy of friendship and music, eventually learning that when you recognize what truly makes you happy, you're never really alone. Released in 1971, American Pie was named one of the top five songs of the century by the National Endowment for the Arts and the Recording Industry Association of America and the original recording was selected for preservation in the National Recording Registry by the Library of Congress as being culturally, historically or artistically significant.Lushly illustrated and poetically written with numerous nods to the nostalgic themes and cryptic lyrics of the beloved song, Don McLean's American Pie: A Fable is a picture book McLean says he hopes will become a bedtime standard for families.
Whether you read this as a prequel to the musical masterwork, or as a tale of growing up, or as a beautiful exploration of finding inspiration, Don McLean's American Pie: A Fable will both enhance the song for fans of Don McLean and introduce a world of imagination to young readers who have not yet experienced this generation-defining music.

With whimsical illustrations and relatable prose, When We Stayed Home is a reminder of how young children navigated big feelings and cheered themselves on during the upheaval of the Covid-19 pandemic. Honoring their role as super helpers they made sure to wash their hands, wear masks, social distance, and stay home.
With the family dog as a trusty sidekick, the super-helper in When We Stayed Home builds virus-free forts, decorates toilet paper-shaped cookies, enjoys screen visits and dance parties with family and friends, and relies on resourcefulness, creativity, and imagination to weather the virus storm.
Young children will recognize their own experiences and emotions as they see another child paint endless pictures and draw chalk art, read books and do puzzles, wave hello to masked neighbors, play under a bluer-than-usual sky, and feel all the feelings as they miss school, playgrounds, and friends and family while staying in their own houses.
When We Stayed Home was inspired by Judy Proffer's resilient five year-old nephew, who continued to find moments of comfort and mirth in home, nature, adventures, and activities even while longing for the virus to go far, far away and by co-author and licensed family and marriage therapist Tara Fass's work with families to maneuver the bumpy road of the pandemic with tools, optimism, and hope.
This gentle book serves as a time capsule for an uncertain time, celebrates the gifts of family, home, imagination and love, and honors the true heroes of covid.
