PICTURE BOOK MANUSCRIPTS

Starry Kalahari

Deep in the Kalahari Desert, beneath the starry still of night, nocturnal creatures awake and begin their evening escapades. This story guides the reader through a journey of poetry, facts and fascination from the deepest of night, to the first glint of dawn in the beautiful setting of Africa.

Starry Kalahari is an award-winning 275-word nonfiction picture book manuscript. It is complete as a standalone work, but has the potential of being part of a series. The content meets national Life Science educational requirements for grades K through 3 and is targeted for ages 5-8.

I love the silhouettes of the baobab trees against a setting sun in the picture--very fitting for your PB story, which will delight children with its rhymes. Good luck with the queries!
