by Jane Yolen (Author), Kathryn Brown (Illustrator)
Written by the prolific Jane Yolen, the charming characters from Eeny, Meeny, Miney Mole and Eeny Up Above return in the third installment of this picture book series that explores themes of agoraphobia, anxiety, and bravery.
Eeny Mole lives at the bottom of a deep dark hole with her two sisters. If it were up to her sisters, she would never leave the hole, but Eeny loves to go exploring--especially in the spring. In this final Eeny Mole picture book, Eeny tries to encourage her sisters to face their fears as she has done and venture into the world Up Above.Author Biography
The amazingly prolific Jane Yolen, has been called "America's Hans Christian Andersen." She is the distinguished author of over 300 books, including Fairy Tale Feasts, Jewish Fairy Tale Feasts, Owl Moon and Devil's Arithmetic. She lives on an old farm in western Massachusetts with numerous moles who do not seem to be afraid of anything. She enjoys taking walks along the river near her house and visiting people, including her editors--in fact, she wrote this book in the office of one of them.
Kathryn Brown has illustrated numerous highly-acclaimed picture books for children. She lives with her husband and their daughter near Jane Yolen in western Massachusetts. She did not, however, use the moles on Jane Yolen's farm as models for this book. (They were too hard to catch.)
