It’s time to celebrate the changing of the seasons with Marty Layne – Canadian author and musician – with a special offer on her book, Autumn Stories, and CD, Brighten the Day.
“I saw a red cherry leaf on the grass this morning as I hung the wash up outside. It reminded me of the photo shoot I did almost 4 years ago of the little needle felted creatures I’d made. This photo shoot inspired my book, Autumn Stories.”
Autumn Stories is a 2 part story about a little character named Little Blue Feather out in the leaves, as creatures get themselves ready for the upcoming winter. The book is filled with bright, colourful photographs of a little felt fellow with fuzzy little animals and props out in the leaves. The real-life artwork throughout the book makes it come to life.
Her CD, Brighten the Day, encompasses all seasons of the year with music. Marty’s voice is soft and gentle, often accompanied by a simple guitar. Easy and enjoyable to listen to, the style of music is similar to folk music. The songs are original and creative, yet related to the topic at hand. Personally, I really enjoyed the Three Little Puffins song. (They like to eat muffins! hehe.) So cute!
You can find the words to all of the songs on Brighten the Day here http://martylayne.com/
