Lavelle Carlson

    This author's children's books are deeply influenced by her career as a speech-language pathologist and her students with special needs, often weaving learning activities into her stories. Her grandchildren and the joy of language and rhyming games also shape her work, with one book stemming from a playful car game. Her nine years living in Norway have imbued her writing with Scandinavian culture, and she has ideas for a Christmas book featuring the Julenissen. She is also planning a novel set in the Piney Woods of East Texas, the region where she grew up.

    Bee, Honey Bunny, and Me: Yucky Yummy Carrots
    • Is it just a dream? Does Baby Bunny love or hate carrots? Are they Yucky or are they Yummy Carrots? Baby Bunny hates them then she loves them. What makes Baby Bunny change her mind when she hates carrots? How can the bees help to convince Leni ? This delightfully illustrated book will keep children enthralled as they dream along with Leni about the bunnies and the bees to see how Baby Bunny changes her mind about carrots. Will this also help Baby Leni love carrots as she dreams about Baby Bunny and the carrots and bees? Bee, Honey Bunny, and Me was written by Lavelle Carlson, a retired speech/language pathologist. Her joy in teaching was to teach early literacy and speech and language skills using storybooks. Upon retirement she has been inspired by her grandchildren to write books about animals and the environment. This story holds a special place in her heart as her granddaughter (2 years at the time of writing the book) was our "bunny whisperer" as she loved to play with the bunnies that came to her yard to be fed. The author also feels that young children can learn early in life the importance of animals and the environment. The added bonus for the author was discovering an artist, John D. Moulton, who is a portraitist. His bunny art is in the vein of Beatrix Potter who was The reader with actual portraits of Baby Leni as well as Honey Bunny and the exceptional expressions emoting their feelings.
