The Ladybugs’ Adventure: A Read to Me Story of Numbers

A NEW BOOK BY EILEEN BLODGETT and L. GIANFORTE - JUST RELEASED ON AMAZON

I am very excited to announce that our new children’s book The Ladybugs’ Adventure by L. Gianforte and Eileen Blodgett is now available to purchase on Amazon. See the “Learn More” button below. It is available at The Earth Store and Harmony Books in Nevada City, at Eileen’s Studio, and Art Works Gallery in Grass Valley

How the book came to be:

“Despite the advice from a very famous author/illustrator to "...never begin a story book with the illustrations", Eileen Blodgett did just that. The 20 illustrations were first created as a visual story for an art exhibit. It wasn't until later that the illustrations were presented to friend and author, L. (Elle) Gianforte, to review for a possible storybook and The Ladybugs' Adventure was given a wonderful new direction.”

Follow the adventures of Lorelei the ladybug and her friends as they explore life beyond their garden. Delight in the encounters that teach them how differences make the world a richer and more colorful place. Encourage your little one to count the ever-growing number of ladybugs as they fluff up their wings and flutter across the pages on their enlightening and inspiring journey.
