"25 fantastic read-aloud stories for kids, written and illustrated by members of our local children's literature community. While the stories reflect a diverse range of topics, tones, and sytles, they're unified by one common theme: Oregon. The book is a celebration of our state, our kids, and our families--and the power of books and reading in forming our experiences, paths, and passions."--back cover.
