Children’s Books

Mary Canary and the Worried Feeling cover

Author: Rachel Vinciguerra (MSW)

I have two children's books for sale: Spirit and Oppy and Mary Canary and the Worried Feeling.

Spirit and Oppy By Rachel Vinciguerra, Illustrated by Samantha Gottwalt (Vinci Press, February 2021)

Oppy is the affectionate nickname of one of NASA’s twin Mars Rovers, Spirit and Opportunity. The sisters traveled to Mars in 2003 and explored the surface, sending measurements and photographs back to Earth. This is the story of all they learned. Great for kids ages 5-9 getting interested in science, this story is a window into the story of the rovers and coming to terms with beginnings and endings.

Mary Canary and the Worried Feeling By Rachel Vinciguerra, Illustrated by Haley Fig Barber

(Vinci Press, May 2021)

One worried bird. An island full of friends. Mary Canary will have to rise to the challenge when one day everything changes. She may learn more about herself than she ever imagined. A sweet story with bold art makes this perfect for reading out loud to little ones (ages 5-9) learning to understand their worried feelings.

Purchase copies of Spirit and Oppy and Mary Canary and the Worried Feeling (note: use the arrow to adjust the quantities to as little as "0.") Now through December 13th, use the code "OPPY" for 20% off orders of Spirit and Oppy.
