“The entire season is just so magical,” says author and artist Ellie Lieberman, proprietor of small handmade business Acorn Tops.
Ellie captures that magic in her books and handmade fairy creations.
Most recently, she’s presented it in her enchanting new children’s book, The Way the Cookie Crumbles.
The Way the Cookie Crumbles is the third in Ellie’s “Basil Basset” children’s series, starring Brigid and her lovable pet, Basil, who tends to get into trouble and is partly inspired by Ellie’s first basset hound.
Ellie, who both writes and illustrates her books, is also the author of a number of books and short stories for adults–including her just-released new novel, An Impossible Dream.
(And of course, Ellie is no stranger to Christmas stories! As you check out her author page, be sure to get a look at her short story, The Memory Tree.)
Ellie talked about her Basil Basset series, offered a preview of An Impossible Dream and shared some of her favorite elements of wonder and magic for the Christmas season.
