Laurie Apgar Chandler, from Newcastle, just published her second book Through Woods and Waters, the story of her solo journey to Maine’s new National Monument. This book follows her first book, Upwards: The Story of the First Woman to Solo Thru-Paddle the Northern Forest Canoe Trail. Deborah Walder, from Jefferson, just published her first children’s book, Ice Critters. “You know that Ireland has their leprechauns, but did you know that Maine has their Ice Critters?” As the Ice fishing houses appear on the lakes and the rivers, this is the perfect time to experience the magic of the Ice Cities and their Critters. The two authors first met at Great Salt Bay School in Damariscotta working in the special education field twenty years ago. They now also share the joy of putting their stories into your hands. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61128d48eed4186e080f0b20/3cb68846-82fc-4222-a238-960ae901a70b/Screen+Shot+2022-05-16+at+7.26.07+PM.png Events - Book Signing at Sherman’s Book Store - Damariscotta, ME May 28th, 2022 Deborah Walder held a book signing for her book, “Shiny” at Sherman’s Bookstore. https://www.deborahwalder.com/readtome daily 0.75 2022-03-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61128d48eed4186e080f0b20/c97b4821-cc10-4633-b358-ac8f02210ee5/IMG_4055.jpg Read To Me https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61128d48eed4186e080f0b20/142b0e9a-2331-473d-bd67-5228fc4c7ee0/Resized_20220219_121149.jpeg Read To Me https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61128d48eed4186e080f0b20/43df9307-7602-46a1-a824-5486342d9bb3/reading-ice-critters.jpeg Read To Me https://www.deborahwalder.com/shinycoloringpages daily 0.75 2022-04-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61128d48eed4186e080f0b20/7ca013ac-00f6-49b9-a9a0-bd2bda2d0fcb/Shiny+Scans+4.png Media Resources https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61128d48eed4186e080f0b20/b5aa3e5d-f30d-4f40-98ce-2282f73697ea/Shiny+Scans+8.png Media Resources https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61128d48eed4186e080f0b20/b4f2ed87-6182-4f96-9202-d0c27f5aab63/Shiny+Scans+10.png Media Resources https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61128d48eed4186e080f0b20/8b2caae8-38b5-44b0-9a70-73495cd6151d/Shiny+Scans+11.png Media Resources https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61128d48eed4186e080f0b20/e5eba83d-4b07-483b-b11f-a47886c7d69d/Shiny+Scans+12.png Media Resources https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61128d48eed4186e080f0b20/f1ab59cc-ff47-4336-b1b4-98f65bb651a5/Shiny+Scans+17.png Media Resources https://www.deborahwalder.com/shop daily 0.75 2021-10-01 https://www.deborahwalder.com/shop/p/ice-critters-soft-cover monthly 0.5 2021-10-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61128d48eed4186e080f0b20/1633120165858-K6ZI9S633S0R7XP34FUS/Ice+Critters+Soft+Cover+for+Web.png Shop - Ice Critters - Soft Cover https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61128d48eed4186e080f0b20/1633120170213-MH0YQGNGD8YF0NQB4EJ9/Ice+Critters+Cover+for+Web.png Shop - Ice Critters - Soft Cover https://www.deborahwalder.com/shop/p/ice-critters-hard-cover monthly 0.5 2021-10-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61128d48eed4186e080f0b20/1633120127968-3WOLM3OFKJE5UFA0Y975/Ice+Critters+Hard+Cover+for+Web.png Shop - Ice Critters - Hard Cover https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61128d48eed4186e080f0b20/1633120134059-LEGZUHRUK2G51ZVMXC1W/Ice+Critters+Cover+for+Web.png Shop - Ice Critters - Hard Cover https://www.deborahwalder.com/shop/p/shiny-soft-cover monthly 0.5 2021-10-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61128d48eed4186e080f0b20/1633120247614-QF6275BJ2SXSNTNBW7IA/Shiny+Cover+for+Web.png Shop - Shiny - Soft Cover https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61128d48eed4186e080f0b20/1633120247585-LP8W5FJ367XAG3L4REMA/Shiny+Soft+Cover+for+Web.png Shop - Shiny - Soft Cover https://www.deborahwalder.com/shop/p/shiny-hard-cover monthly 0.5 2021-10-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61128d48eed4186e080f0b20/1633120382885-U07OFC3IPHYRCU9JJI9J/Shiny+Hard+Cover+for+Web.png Shop - Shiny - Hard Cover https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61128d48eed4186e080f0b20/1633120247614-QF6275BJ2SXSNTNBW7IA/Shiny+Cover+for+Web.png Shop - Shiny - Hard Cover https://www.deborahwalder.com/shop/p/bundle-hard-cover monthly 0.5 2021-10-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61128d48eed4186e080f0b20/1633121658924-M85V88HRTS00XSYOAM0I/Covers+for+Web+Hard.png Shop - Ice Critters & Shiny Bundle - Hard Cover https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61128d48eed4186e080f0b20/1633121658921-6HJOTZ9ZFLHEAF85O0LF/Covers+for+Web.png Shop - Ice Critters & Shiny Bundle - Hard Cover https://www.deborahwalder.com/shop/p/bundle-soft-cover monthly 0.5 2021-10-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61128d48eed4186e080f0b20/1633121605897-VEB2IHI4INN139SQIABX/Covers+for+Web+Soft.png Shop - Ice Critters & Shiny Bundle - Soft Cover https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61128d48eed4186e080f0b20/1633121605896-RYP0ZFA1UJTHL89TC5LW/Covers+for+Web.png Shop - Ice Critters & Shiny Bundle - Soft Cover
