Fishing Creek Cottage Etsy Shop



During the last several months I have donated almost 200 face masks to essential workers, neighbors, family, and community members. 

On social media, I was surprised at how many people could not get face masks shipped quickly when ordering online.  

This is when I decided to re-open Fishing Creek Cottage Etsy Shop to allow fast shipping for masks and it also allowed me to sell my children's books in my shop.

Stay well and safe! AND if you need a face mask shipped quickly or would like to purchase one of my books (autographed copy)- visit my site.

Best,
Carrie

On Amazon today! If I Wear a Face Mask-Can I Still be Me?


If I Wear a Face Mask
Can I Still Be Me?

Available on Amazon today!
Ebook/Print coming soon


If I Wear a Face Mask Can I Still Be Me? is a 2020 special edition to the author, Carrie Garvin’s Sailing to Sleep interactive storybook collection.

The story begins with a little boy and his concerns about wearing a face mask. He asks throughout the story, “If I wear a face mask, can I still be me?” With the help of his big sister, he hopes to find the answer. She will take her little brother on an adventure that includes turning his bed into a ship to venture off to find solutions.

There are several gentle lessons woven into the story. A child will learn why face masks are worn and about good handwashing. The little boy’s question throughout the book, “If I wear a face mask, can I still be me?” will be answered before he goes to sleep.

The story is filled with adorable illustrations full of interactive questions the reader will be delighted to answer.

Other books from Carrie’s Sailing to Sleep interactive storybook collection are also available. Holiday magic with If You Were an Elf. Also, If You Were a Pirate children will love the pirate talk. 

All Carrie's stories are written with a gentle lesson for children to learn, and they are a fabulous read before falling asleep.

Post Script: I have put If You Were a Monster on temporary hold. I did this because I wanted to have this book launched sooner than later. Why? The first time I saw two of my handful of grandsons wearing face masks- my heart sunk to my feet. What a change- what were a five and seven-year-old thinking? Then my oldest grand girlie, 2020 HS graduate would soon be without prom, and possibly without a traditional graduation. At that moment I came up with the title of my next book- If I Wear a Face Mask- Can I Still Be Me?

Please be safe, be well, and be part of the plan for a healthy community again.
