Carol Dolson's third book, Dear Marguerite and Me, has just been released. AND, it has already won a prestigious Mom's Choice Award of Excellence!

In this new offering by award-winning children's-book author Carol Bland Dolson, we watch a little girl and her aunt plan a trip together. They make their plan through a series of letters, written in verse. As is not uncommon with this sort of communication, the letters ultimately reveal the characters' personalities and, due to the subject matter, they also take us to exotic places. From Kokomo and Kalamazoo to Singapore and Serengeti, the people and places of the world take center stage.

At the same time, the full-color illustrations by Elaine Hearn Rabon also give the reader a firm and pleasant grounding in the child's surroundings, even as she and her aunt dream up their itinerary.
