Meet Marie Mouse and her pet ladybug, Poppy. Set in an earlier time, Marie learns about life, friendship, and faith while growing up in Critter Cove.

The rich, colorful photographs of Marie’s world come to life as each scene was hand-built, sewn, painted, knitted, felted, and created from Andrea’s imagination. Seeds is the first of many books in the Christian Critter Collection. Come join Marie and her friends as they embark on the wondrous journey of childhood.

Andrea, I so appreciate you taking time to bless our children at J.H. Picard school. The children and teachers were so amazed by your presentation. They absolutely loved it. They said, “You were the highlight of Read in Week”. Thank you again! May God’s continued blessings be poured in your journey.
