Written in honor of her mother (Lucy), who passed away in December 2009, many of the idioms and expressions in \u003cem\u003eA Lick and a Promise \u003c\/em\u003eare from her mother's stories and songs. This book is not just a children's story--it is a story that inspires dialogue across generations, as Lucy tries to understand the seemingly nonsensical sayings her Grammy and Papa frequently use. \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFuture books in the \u003cem\u003eLittle Lucy Series\u003c\/em\u003e include\u003cem\u003e Busy Bee Hill\u003c\/em\u003e, which takes place during winter and focuses on Lucy's sledding adventures; \u003cem\u003eWrinkles of Time\u003c\/em\u003e, which takes place during spring and lets Lucy hear the stories that gave Grammy and Papa their well-deserved laugh- and worry-lines; and a yet-to-be-determined fourth book, set during the summer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbout the Author \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Mari Miller has been observing and writing about the world since she was six, and reading those stories to her classmates sealed her fate as a teacher. She loves exploring human relationships as well as why and how people use words, and she has been helping students to do the same since 1990. Nature figures strongly into her stories and poetry. Whether hiking or snow-shoeing, she finds the expression \u003cem\u003eSolvitur ambulando\u003c\/em\u003e rings true. Her other creative outlet is playing the piano, which has allowed her to accompany her daughters' singing over the years. It is of her two daughters that she is most proud. They are strong, intelligent, and independent young women who inspire her every day.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.25 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 27, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52648333705523,"sku":"9781480996946","price":32.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/S0JVNHFpYlZ0YlMyVVh1bjZKUjgrZz09.webp?v=1762451934","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/a-lick-and-a-promise-hardcover","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
