East Greenwich, RI Author Publishes New Children's Book

At the Door, a new book by Maly M. Kiendl, has been released by RoseDog Books.

At the Door is a beautifully illustrated story about Loxalillya, a little girl who has a dream. Her guide in Dreamland is an elf. He takes her to Folkstown. There she meets a boy who is a doorkeeper.

As in all dreams, things are not what they seem to be. The boy's house is his mind. The people going in and out of the house are his thoughts.

Loxalillya wants to be the doorkeeper and talks the elf into making it happen. Everything goes wrong, and she is overwhelmed by her responsibilities until…the elf tells her a secret.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Maly M. Kiendl loves children, animals, and nature (not necessarily in that order). Combine that with a passion for drawing (which she's had since the age of ten, after winning her first art award), and you have the perfect ingredients to be inspired by an obscure Victorian children's book writer, Katherine M. Yates.

Kiendl feels strongly that children's books should be as enjoyable for adults to read as they are for children to hear and see. Many of her most pleasant memories from childhood are the different stories read to her by adults.

At the Door is a 34-page paperback with a retail price of $9.00. The ISBN is 978-0-8059-8996-0. It was published by RoseDog Books of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
