I’m So Sorry, Little Mouse — By Denise Brown. Illustrated by Taylore Aussiker.

We are pleased to report that in our first printing, our little mouse traveled far and wide, from the coast of Maine to the Pacific Ocean, from the Gulf Coast to sunny Puerto Rico, bringing smiles and a little cheer along the way.  A sweet tale of a mouse who makes himself far too comfortable in the house, I’m So Sorry, Little Mouse encourages a love of language and of all creatures, and provides a gentle opportunity for parents and caregivers to open a conversation about boundaries. 

What our readers are saying: “So adorable and sweet!” “We started chuckling right away . . .” “Thank you so much . . . my grandchildren and I love the book.”  “So fun!” “Fantastic illustrations!” “Happy to report my nieces loved the book.” “  . . . she absolutely loves it. Made my friend read it to her twice last night. So thanks for bringing all this joy!”  “Great book, so happy I have a copy.” “A darling book, with wonderful choices in its creation.”  “ . . . delighted with the writing and the illustrator’s view / pictures. I always say an illustrator can make or break the story.” 

“I’m So Sorry Little Mouse is entirely delightful.  And insightful.  And it will make you want to rhyme.  Its story of a mouse who comes to live in the house and just… really… can’t… is not only playful and touching but offers a moral of love and respect across the animal world.  It truly deserves readers, and lookers, and hearers, and rewards them well.”   -- Gary Moore, author of ABE & ANN and HEAVENLY BODIES

Luther B. Harris: A Prison Story — Co-edited with Virginia Downs and published by VT Civil War Enterprises, under the auspices of the Lyndon Historical Society.

A Prison Story features that account and a short introduction.

The Unspeakable — A memoir on the aftermath of violent loss. Publisher’s description: On March 6, 1998, a disgruntled employee went on a rampage at the Connecticut Lottery Corporation, killing four executives before turning the gun on himself. The tragedy made headlines across the country for weeks. In The Unspeakable , Denise Brown, who lost her husband in the shootings, gives voice to the story left untold by the media. In this passionate and haunting memoir, Brown charts the difficult path from bitterness to hope through the complicated grief that is the legacy of violence. Sobering and unsentimental, it is the work of 'a courageous, honest, and deeply thoughtful writer,' said Tom Perrotta, author of Little Children . The lack of candor that surrounds our society’s love affair with violence is one element that moved Brown to write her book. 'Someone should tell the truth,' she says in The Unspeakable , as she hands over important documents about the crime to an editor and reporter at an unnamed newspaper. David Kaczynski, Executive Director of New Yorkers Against the Death Penalty, says Brown’s work 'should help us speak more honestly about violence and loss.'
