I can’t think of a better way to celebrate Children’s Book Week than to invite author Joe Hayes for a visit.

The Bearskinner: A Tale by the Brothers Grimm
The Bearskinner: A Tale of the Brothers Grimm
Retold by Laura Amy Schlitz and illustrated by Max Grafe, The Bearskinner is just the kind of book you will love- haunting and dark.
The Devil comes to bargain for a desperate soldier’s soul, but he realizes he won’t get what he has bargained for.
Grafe’s imagery creates a somber dark mood. His brown hued shadow-like figures, transport you into the book.
This tale will definitely leave you something to think about.
