Drift off to Green Gables

A new perfect bedtime story to add to your collection: Goodnight Anne by Kallie George and Genevieve Godbout.  The Christmas is going to be Anne-ful as this is another sweet book The Bee will find under the tree.

A lovely little tale filled with all the important characters in Anne’s life with the most wistful and dreamy illustrations you can imagine.  Genevieve Godbout brings Anne’s world to life.  She perfectly captures all the people and things so important to Anne and her life at Green Gables.  Not only is the story lovely and sweet and perfect for lulling your little one into a happy dream-filled sleep, the illustrations match the tone of the story and will only help to whisk your child off to dreamland.  Goodnight Anne is a fantastic first peek into the world Lucy Maud Montgomery created so many years ago through her Anne of Green Gables stories.  I’m sure she would be happy to know Kallie George was taking her stories and making them accessible to even younger readers, so parents can pass along their love for the series in an age appropriate way.  Kallie George is sure to inspire the next generation of Anne fans and will keep the work of Lucy Maud Montgomery alive and fresh for the next generation.
