Announcing the anticipated release of the second book in the award-winning Sally Mitts Stories
SALLY MITTS AND THE LAND OF IMAGINATION
Sally Mitts And The Land Of Imagination has won The Golden Wizard Book Prize!
Award-winning author and illustrator Shain Stodt is releasing the anticipated second book in The Sally Mitts Stories, the continuing tale of a clever, spunky little kitten named Sally.
​
It all begins when Sally spies shoes that are walking - without any feet! Led to a mysterious red door, she enters a fantastical world where the imagination holds sway - where what you can imagine, you can do! Paint the sky in bold new colors. Play on the ceiling. Fly an airplane through the stars! Anything is possible if you believe in yourself.
Come with Sally and her new friends, Clair the opera-singing hare and Jack the floating snail, as they explore wonders and challenges: A hungry fog monster who saps dreams away. A rainbow lake where the joyful Gollyphants live, their raucous dancing making the waves shimmer and shake. Meet a snobbish mole, the Big Word Lummox, who rouses Jack’s competitive energy - with hilarious results! In a tender conclusion, Sally meets her mother and learns that her mother’s love has never left her.
