Helen Schulman: Powell's Q&A: Helen Schulman, author of 'Lucky Dogs' (0 comment)
Describe your latest book. I felt like I was on fire the whole time I was writing Lucky Dogs, even when I was downed by long-haul Covid. The book was fueled by all the breaking articles about high-powered men using their considerable resources to get away with sexual abuse on a massive scale...

Publisher Comments

A New York Times bestselling author-illustrator brings readers into the woods to meet two young sisters and a strange bit of magic in this reimagining of the classic but little-known fairy tale "Snow White and Rose Red."
Snow and Rose didn't know they were in a fairy tale. People never do. . . .
Once, they lived in a big house with spectacular gardens and an army of servants.
Once, they had a father and mother who loved them more than the sun and moon.
But that was before their father disappeared into the woods and their mother disappeared into sorrow.
This is the story of two sisters and the enchanted woods that have been waiting for them to break a set of terrible spells.
Bestselling author-illustrator Emily Winfield Martin has created a world that sits on the border of enchantment, with characters who are grounded in real emotions that readers will recognize in themselves.

Review

“This moody fairy tale emphasizes family, friendship, and the powerful bond of sisterhood. Martin’s characterization of the two contrary sisters is especially moving.” Publishers Weekly

Review

“The writing is lyrical, with laudable word choice, alliteration, and imagery capturing the magic of the woods. For lovers of fairy tales, this story of sisterhood, taking risks, and being kind is a physically beautiful book with an appealing cover and captivating full-color illustrations.” Kirkus Reviews

Review

"Sisters Snow and Rose once lived a charmed life in a grand house with a beautiful garden. After their father disappears into the woods the girls and their mother are forced to move into a small cottage in the same forest. There they befriend a boy named Ivo discover a mysterious library filled not with books but objects are tricked by a strange little man and bond with a protective bear. Unfolding over episodic chapters that build to a well deserved happy ending this moody fairy tale emphasizes family friendship and the powerful bond of sisterhood. Martin’s characterization of the two contrary sisters is especially moving: Rose is the type of person who “holds on to a thing she loved as tightly as she could” while Snow wants “to see or hear or taste something she loved over and over again to remind herself that it was real.” The sisters’ contradictions make their relationship all the stronger and Martin’s prim full color paintings and spot illustrations tenderly highlight key characters and moments. Ages 8–12. Agent: Brenda Bowen Sanford J. Greenburger Associates. (Oct.) " Publishers Weekly Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.

Snow and Rose are sisters whose father disappears one day, along with their mom they are forced out of their home and must go live in the forest. Snow and Rose meet friends and have adventures as they explore their new world and ultimately solve the mystery of the forest. This book is a lovely fairytale full of beautiful imagery and illustrations. My whole family loved it.

From the synopsis on the front flap to the sketchbook in the back, this magical book drew me in like no book has done in many moons! My daughter and I are especially charmed by the illustrations, and the story was sublimely creative and gentle. From the Mushroom Boy to the Little Man to the Librarian, all of the characters are well developed, and I wanted to re-enter the beautiful world of Snow and Rose as soon as I finished reading! Emily Winfield Martin is a true Portland treasure!
