And Nic is no different. She鈥檚 so excited about spending the entire summer on a small New England island wit her grandparents that she counts down the days through winter and spring.

Astrid Sheckels鈥檚 picture book Nic and Nellie is a gorgeously illustrated, heartwarming story of a girl and her beloved dog, Nellie, who slowly learn that new places really aren鈥檛 so scary, and that often friends can be found around every corner 鈥揺ven in old rowboats, tidal ponds, and stinky mudflats.

The late Robert F. Baldwin was a modern day troubadour, singing, playing the banjo, and collecting and
telling stories wherever he went. His articles and stories have appeared in numerous magazines. His
children's books include This is the Sea That Feeds Us, and Cities Through Time: Beijing.
Astrid Sheckels was born and raised in the farming town of Hatfield, Massachusetts. She cannot remember a
time when she wasn't listening to, telling, or illustrating stories. Her detailed illustrations give every story more depth and dimension. Astrid's first children's book was the award-winning The Scallop
Christmas published by Islandport Press in 2009. She lives, paints, and teaches in western
Massachusetts.
