Beyond the Pawpaw Trees: The Story of Anna Lavinia (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781590174616)

It all began on a lavender blue day--the kind of day when anything can happen. It was on such a day that Anna Lavinia's father saw a double rainbow and went chasing after it. And it is on such a day that she and her cat, Strawberry, set off on their journey beyond the walled garden where the pawpaw trees grow, to a place where the buttercups bloom pink and the laws of gravity don't always apply. Here Anna Lavinia will test her mother's advice "Never believe what you see," against her father's wise words "Believe only what you see," and just maybe she'll finally be able to use the mysterious silver key her father left behind when he went chasing after rainbows.

Beyond the Pawpaw Trees is a tour through a land as strange and wonderful as Oz, filled with people as delightfully batty as any in Alice's looking glass. It is a place to return to again and again, beautifully brought to life in Palmer Brown's fanciful words and intricate, sugar-spun drawings.
