The Books Are Here!! The Books Are Here!!!

A must have for your Christmas library…Grover Groundhog is awakened to loud Fa-la-la’s and strange goings on aboveground.  Far more exciting than hibernation, Grover wakes up his sister, Gracie.  Cautiously the two trek to peek inside the window of the home near their burrow.  Will Grover and Gracie be discovered…or will they make their own discoveries about what Christmas is all about?  Find out in Grover Groundhog’s Not Hibernating This Christmas!    

The first shipment arrived!!!  Yay!!!  That is such an answer to prayer!!  Now I'm ready for the upcoming book events!!!  Please email me at kristi@graciesgrounds.com to order your book or schedule an author visit!!  It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!!!
