    Katie Mouse and the Perfect Wedding: A Flower Girl Story (eBook, ePUB)
    Katie Mouse's Cousin Matilda is getting married! A big wedding has been planned in Mouse Town's public park, and everyone in town is invited. Best of all, Katie will be Matilda's flower mouse, and her little brother Dylan will be the ring bearer. There's just one problem: The Games Day at Katie's school has been changed to the same day as the wedding! And Katie's the captain of her class's relay race team! Will she really have to miss it? As Katie struggles with her feelings, a mix-up with the wedding rings threatens to ruin the entire wedding. It's then that Katie discovers that only she knows how to save the day and make the wedding perfect after all. For ages 4 to 9. ///////////////////////////////////////////////// ABOUT ANNE AND MOUSE TOWN In 2016, Anne L. Watson fell in love with felted mice by Bulgarian artist Diyana Stankova. Anne happened to be working on a housekeeping almanac, so she started photographing the mice, posing them in scenes with miniatures in dollhouses, to illustrate the book. Soon she was writing little stories about the mouse family, while learning to use Photoshop to manipulate their poses and composite their props and settings in a creative blend of toys, other photos, and purchased and free art. As Anne added more mice and other felted animals from Diyana and other artists, Mouse Town began to take shape. As might be expected, these adorable but pushy critters eventually demanded their own books, and Anne obliged with the Katie Mouse series. Besides her children's books, Anne writes literary novels and how-to books for grown-ups, on such subjects as housekeeping, soapmaking, and baking with cookie molds. She lives in Bellingham, Washington, with her husband and fellow author, Aaron Shepard, and a growing family of critters. ///////////////////////////////////////////////// "A young mouse's disappointment turns into triumph in this quaint story featuring a cast of miniature felt animals posed in photo-collage scenes . . . Watson keeps the story moving briskly, demonstrating how compromise isn't just necessary at times but can be empowering as well." -- Publishers Weekly, Nov. 27, 2017 ///////////////////////////////////////////////// SAMPLE Mama Mouse was so excited, she nearly dropped her phone. "It's Cousin Matilda. She's going to marry Alexander!" "It's about time," said Papa Mouse, looking up from his breakfast. "Of course you can stay here!" Mama was saying into the phone. "A June wedding in the park! That's perfect!" When Mama hung up, Katie asked, "Will Dylan and I get to go?" "Of course," Mama said. "In fact, Matilda would like you to be her flower mouse. Would you like that?" "Oh, yes!" Katie's eyes sparkled with excitement. "When is it?" "The day before your school Games Day. And Dylan will be the ring bearer!" "I no bear!" said Dylan.

    Aviary
    ABOUT AVIARY 'First albums shouldn't be this good.' - Bill Meyer (DownBeat) 'An auspicious debut. This saxophonist promises great things in the future.' - Mark Corroto (All About Jazz) 'Mazzarella's impressive debut album, Aviary, was cut by his nimble, briskly swinging working trio with bassist Anton Hatwich and drummer Frank Rosaly. I like that Aviary is a modest recording, concise and direct. The performances are shorter than this spunky group's usual live renditions of the same material, so that the album runs a satisfying 30 minutes - and throughout you can hear Mazzarella's burning drive to convey the essence of his music simply, with no bells or whistles.' - Peter Margasak (Chicago Reader) ABOUT NICK MAZZARELLA Alto saxophonist and composer Nick Mazzarella has been a participant in Chicago's jazz, free jazz, improvised music, and rock scenes as a bandleader, sideman, and presenter since 2002. After completing his formal music education at DePaul University (Bachelor of Music 2006, Master of Music 2009), he began performing regularly with his own groups and with projects led by his peers at venues throughout the city and the United States. His efforts have been especially concentrated around the activities of his primary working band, the Nick Mazzarella Trio, the musician and presenter collective Umbrella Music, the multi-disciplined Everypeople Workshop, and the grass roots effort to establish a new haven on the south side of Chicago for free jazz, the Ratchet Series. Equally at home in the worlds of the traditional and the avant-garde, Mazzarella maintains a continuous performance schedule encompassing a variety of musical contexts, but focuses the majority of his energies on the areas of composition-based free jazz and free form improvisation. Through his work in these stylistic mediums, Mazzarella has established himself as a distinct voice within the second post-Vandermark generation of Chicago improvisers, the so-called 'new blood' of that unique lineage. Mazzarella has performed as a sideman in bands led by Frank Rosaly (Green and Gold), Jaimie Branch (Bomb Shelter), Jake Vinsel (Horse-Fire), Jason Ajemian (Magic Bone), Joe Adamik (Joe Adamik Quartet), Keefe Jackson (Project Project), Mikel Avery (Everypeople Workshop), and Rob Mazurek (Exploding Star Orchestra). He has also worked on an individual basis with such musicians as Anton Hatwich, Cameron Pfiffner, Dave Rempis, Devin Davis, Devin Hoff, Dylan Ryan, Fredrik Ljungkvist, Guillermo Gregorio, James Falzone, Jason Adasiewicz, Jason Roebke, Jason Stein, Jeb Bishop, Jim Baker, Josh Berman, Joshua Abrams, Matt Schneider, Marc Riordan, Mars Williams, Mike Reed, Nate Lepine, Nick Broste, Nicole Mitchell, Quin Kirchner, Steve Hunt, Tim Daisy, and Tomeka Reid. Mazzarella is a curator of the Ratchet Series in residence at the Skylark in Chicago's Pilsen neighborhood. The series was founded in 2007 by drummer Frank Rosaly, with whom Mazzarella has worked on the project since 2009, with the aim of providing musicians of diverse styles and approaches within the genres of free jazz and improvised and experimental music with a weekly performance opportunity. By organizing these concert events Mazzarella, Rosaly, and bassist Anton Hatwich, who joined the effort in 2011, strive to foster a community that supports musicians on Chicago's south side.
