The Lie We Call Spring

By Maria Angelica Guerrero and Lakely James

It is a tale about the perpetual endurance of Canadian winters and the optimism and disillusionment of a season we call spring. In this vintage inspired story, a family eagerly awaits the warmth of spring only to find winter returning inopportunely. Led by an over-enthusiastic father, the children catch his contagious spirit and recklessly seize the day in complete denial of spring's fleeting appearances. The book is illustrated by a truly incredible artist, Maria Angelica Guerrero. Illustrations are hand-painted and created with the whimsy and nostalgia of childhood. The story is written by a new author, Lakely James, who relishes in creating classic children's narratives that follow the magic of the changing seasons. She hopes to inspire people to see the world and all the magic it can bring to those that look for it through a lens of innocence.
