Description: A beautifully illustrated collection of 5 minute bedtime stories about forest wildlife by Alicia Klepeis.
Brief description: Kristen Adam is an illustrator who grew up exploring the wild redwood forests of northern California. Her love of getting lost in the fantasies of her doodles led her to study illustration at California College of the Arts, where she discovered her passion for illustrating children's books. Kristen's work is a whimsical mix of digital media and traditional textures, and features quirky critters bursting with personality. When Kristen's not wandering the woods identifying wildflowers she loves star gazing, reading sci fi/fantasy novels, and snuggling her dog Charlie.
