The Book
The Day Anna Ganna Bandanna Learned to Fly
Released in November 2008, The Day Anna Ganna Bandanna Learned to Fly tells the story of Anna Ganna Bandanna, her pepe’s old dog, Car, and the great Raven Ebon on their special day at the far end of the pasture near the mysterious Stream of Sticks.
The Author
Richard Bland College Provost and Dean of Faculty Vernon R. Lindquist is a storyteller of the old school. Magical stuff happens to real people in his world, and people learn important lessons from the unlikeliest of hosts. His stories about Anna Ganna Bandanna began the day she was born and continue as she grows into a young girl. Doubleabooks began the day his second granddaughter was born (three months after the first), That was the day Allie Cette Alphabet appeared in one of his reveries.
The Illustrator
Susan B. Fecho is a highly regarded artist of several media and a maker of books. Her keen interest in experimental expression surfaced in the very first Doubleabooks sketches for the little book called The Day Anna Ganna Bandanna Was Born, and it persists into each of the subsequent titles. Susan has had numerous solo and invitational exhibits highlighting her versatility. Her inspiration often also comes from family, friends and pets, some of whom may even show up in the pages of a book or two.
