Thanks for the kind words!
The cover of the children's picture book Endgame: The Secret Force 136. A young Chinese-Canadian boy named Alex plays chess with his great-grandfather Tai Gong. In a thought bubble behind the older man's head, soldiers parachute from an airplane into a jungle, revealing a secret WWII history about Force 136. The book is written by Catherine Little, with illustrations by Sean Huang. The title 'Endgame: The Secret Force 136' is written in white capital letters. #PictureBook #CanadianHistory #WWII #ChineseCanadianHistory #KidsBook

Book cover of Jane and the Blue Willow Princess by Catherine Little and illustrated by Sae Kimua shows a girl with a feather quill on a background of a Blue Willow plate design.
Happy book birthday to @catherinelittle.bsky.social and Sae Kimura for their new #picturebook imagining #JaneAusten as a storytelling child. From Plumleaf Press. canlitforlittlecanadians.blogspot.com/2025/06/jane...
Thank you for taking the time to read and review, Helen. It is always a delight to see my books through your eyes!
Two smiling women. One is holding up a book titled Jane Austen and the Blue Willow Princess. The book cover portrays a young Jane Austen surrounded by a lovely blue pastoral scene.
My lovely neighbour, kid lit author @catherinelittle.bsky.social, has a GORGEOUS new pic book out tomorrow! Jane and the Blue Willow Princess (from Plumleaf Press, illustrated by Sae Kimura) is about the young Jane Austen and the tea set that inspired a story! #kidlit #janeaustenfans
Thank you. Asking myself “what if that shard of Blue Willow was broken by Jane Austen” resulted in a beautiful book!
Thanks!
Join me at The Gardiner Museum on May 18 for a reading of JANE AND THE BLUE WILLOW PRINCESS and the chance to make a Blue Willow inspired piece of clay art.

Photo shows the cover for Jane and the Blue Willow Princess amongst a display of blue willow pottery.
Do you love Jane Austen and/or the Blue Willow pattern?
Jane and the Blue Willow Princess, my latest PB was inspired when I learned about the discovery of a shard of BW at Steventon, JA’s childhood home.
Preorders Open!
Guess which piece is circa 1810!

The Tollkeeper’s Cottage is an interesting place. If you can make it, try to get there in time for a short tour! Also, Wychwood Park is a great place for a walk. Hope to see you there.
I hope she can make it!
If you are a Lucy Maud Montgomery fan in the St. Clair and Bathurst area, I’d love for you to come to my upcoming talk at the Tollkeeper’s Cottage.
