About this title

About the Author:

When I'm not being a school librarian, I write picture books for children and the occasional essay, poem, or article for adults. I've lived in Willow, Alaska for 26 years now. Besides reading and writing, I like to garden, cross-country ski, go for long walks, and practice speaking Swedish. 

From School Library Journal:

PreSchool-K–Grandma Posey shares the story behind a faded ornament shaped like a wrapped present. A little mouse named Posey loved Christmas so much that she couldn't resist the temptation to peek at all of her gifts while her family was caroling. Afterward, opening presents on Christmas Eve, the magic is spoiled because the surprise is gone. And the next morning little Posey decides to not open her last stocking present as a special reminder that some things are better if you wait. Kennedy's mouse house and family are cozy and full of energy, her watercolors capturing the excitement and wonder of the holiday. While Posey isn't actually punished for her curiosity with a lump of coal, her remorse makes a strong impression on readers. A sweet but purposeful storytime filler.–Anne Connor, Los Angeles Public Library
