Hi Amber, If this is a real FLW dollhouse design, the folks at the Cranbrook Center for Collections and Research might be interested. You can contact the curator, Kevin Adkisson, at kadkisson(a)cranbrook.edu. It's worth a try. Take care, Jody Helme-Day (she/her/hers) Why does this matter?

Searching for a Goodnight book - NOT Goodnight Moon
by Tee Versele 11 Sep '23

11 Sep '23

Hello all! We have a reference question here at Romulus Public Library that has stumped me. The patron is looking for a book she read to her now 15 year old daughter when she was little. She remembers it as a book about a little girl saying good night to objects in her room, she specifically remembers her saying good night to socks. It is explicitly NOT Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown, and we have determined it is also not Goodnight, Goodnight, Sleepyhead by Ruth Krause or Bedtime, Nelly by Jan Barger. If anyone knows what book this might be, please help us out! Thanks in advance! -- Tee Versele Head of Youth Services and Outreach Romulus Public Library 11121 Wayne Rd.

U.P. Notable Book Club - "Cady and the Birchbark Box" delves into Indigenous yooper YA literature
by Victor R. Volkman 09 Sep '23

09 Sep '23

Please feel free to share this invitation with anyone you think might be interested UP Notable Book Club presents a Q&A session with Ann Dallman about the 2nd Cady Whirlwind Thunder Mystery -- "Cady and the Birchbark Box" *UP Notable Book Club:* the Crystal Falls Community District Library in partnership with the U.P. Publishers & Authors Association (UPPAA) has scheduled author events with winners of the /UP Notable Book List/. The 30th event is with Ann Dallman featuring /Cady and the Birchbark Box/ -- the 2nd installment in the Cady Whirlwind Thunder YA mystery series. The acclaim for Dallman's series has grown as the books are released, garnering many state and regional awards along the way. The stories take place in a fictional U.P. town, loosely based on the Hannahville Potawatomi Indian Reservation west of Escanaba, where the 13-year-old Cady and her family are newly transplanted from Minnesota. /*When: */September 14th, 2023 at 7 pm Eastern / 6 pm Central /*Where: */https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81060583495?pwd=dGRrMi9DUHd1clNpNG1oQ0hqeG5nZz09 Meeting ID: 810 6058 3495 Passcode: cady2 We recommend you borrow a copy of these books from your local library or purchase from your local bookseller in advance to get the most out of these events. *ANN DALLMAN* has lifelong roots in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. She started out as a newspaper reporter/photographer and later taught middle and high school English/Journalism/Reading, fifteen of those years on the Hannahville Indian Reservation in Wilson, MI. She holds an undergraduate degree in Journalism Education from the University of Wisconsin and a master’s degree from Viterbo University. A freelance writer, she is now writing her third /Cady/ novel. Ann served as Writer in Residence at Wild Acres Retreat Center in North Carolina and was awarded scholarships to study writing with author Susan Power/Split Rock Arts Institute/Minneapolis, MN and to Highlights Foundations sessions in Honesdale, PA. Her Middle Grade novel, /Cady and the Bear Necklace/, a U.P. Notable Book, received: Historical Society of Michigan State History Award, Midwest Book Award, New Mexico-Arizona Book Award and was a Next Generation Indie Book Award Finalist. The second book in the series, /Cady and the Birchbark Box/, is also a U.P. Notable Book and received the Historical Society of Michigan State History Award. It is published by Modern History Press of Ann Arbor, MI, available locally at Snowbound Books and on amazon, B&N, Walmart and target.com websites. <https://UPPAA.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b1016c5c910959a236f2ff48f&i…>"Ann Dallman's second novel /Cady and the Birchbark Box <https://UPPAA.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b1016c5c910959a236f2ff48f&i…>/ depicts the sophistication of the Native American culture and the everyday life of a 13 year-old teenage girl. Cady’s character struggles with a move to another community, a crush on a young man and most importantly--a mystery behind a birchbark box. Cady demonstrates an endearing respect and admiration for her grandmother while being frustrated with not getting the answers from her that she needs: /who was Abe and what was his connection to Lake Superior’s shipwreck past/? The infamous story of the sinking of the Christmas Tree Ship in 1912 holds her attention as well. Realistic family relationships color Cady’s world with a caring father, absent mother, new stepmother and baby brother. Cady manages her responsibilities at home, as a soccer player and a high school student while doggedly searching for the answers to a riddled past dug up from the grounds surrounding a vacant home. A particular noisy blue jay makes its presence known and keeps her on task. Cady's crush is only rarely seen in this installment. She must work at calming her famous temper while she faces a life filled with stress. Nevertheless, she is often reminded about her gift of solving mysteries." -- Sharon Brunner, /U.P. Book Review/ More information about the U.P. Notable Book list, /U.P.
