WHEN SPRING COMES
Written by
Natalie Kinsey-Warnock
Illustrated by Stacey Schuett
Published by Dutton, 1993. ISBN#0-525-45-008-4.

A young girl gazes out her winter window, anticipating the scents and sounds and special pleasures of the coming spring. The days will be warm and tender and free, the nights filled with the music of treefrogs. Then there is a jingling of bells. The girl's reverie breaks off and she plunges into the present, which proves to be every bit as rich, splendid--and joyful--as anything she has imagined. With a rare, graceful skill, this sensuous picture book evokes the warmth of rural times past, as well as the burning exhilaration of being fully alive in the infinity of "now".

"Kinsey-Warnocks carefree mood piece recalls the wholesome joys of an earlier rural time...bolstered by the sweeping, lyrical artwork. Schuett's large-as-life perspectives imbue the story with an engrossing sense of drama--witness the sleigh-ride scene that whisks riders off into a shimmering winter night."--Publishers Weekly.
DAY LIGHT, NIGHT LIGHT
Written by Franklyn M. Branley
Illustrated by Stacey Schuett

Let's-Read-and-Find-Out originator Franklyn M.

SB&F, American Association for the Advancement of Science--Best Books for Children, 1998.

"Handsome acrylic paintings appealingly interpret the text...the book succeeds admirably in leading readers to look at familiar phenomena from different perspectives."
--ALA Booklist

SISTERS OF SCITUATE LIGHT
Written by Stephen Krensky
Pictures by Stacey Schuett
Dutton Children's Books 2008
ISBN #978-0-525-47792-1

2008 Junior Library Guild Premier Selection Award

Scituate lighthouse was a welcome sight to sailors at sea. But during the War of 1812, when a raiding party of British Sailors approached shore with the intentions of looting and burning the town, it was up to the lighthouse keeper's daughters Rebecca and Abbie Bates to use their wits to chase the raiders away. Stephen Krensky and Stacey Schuett bring to life the true and exciting story of how two resourceful sisters became heroes, armed only with a fife, drum, and the song "Yankee Doodle Dandy".
