With the recent publication of The Dead Butterflies Diary, Sandy Baker once again combines her passions for gardening and writing into a children’s book, her third in the circle of kids’ gardening books with a plot.
What’s a good detective story without a body? This time it’s butterflies, and Betsy is determined to find out who the culprit is. With her magnifying glass and camera in hand and little sister Me-Too tagging behind, she does indeed find out “who done it.”
Dead Butterflies is a 32-page, 8” x 10” soft-bound picture book, perfect for 5-10-year- olds, at home or school. Included are a glossary, best butterfly flowers, Betsy’s texting abbreviations, and her tips for growing one’s own butterfly garden.
The Dead Butterflies Diary lists for $9.95 at www.sandybakerwriter.com using PayPal or snail mail. Either way, you get an autographed copy. It will be available on Amazon in early August.

One of my favorite things about BAIPA is its culture of generosity, the willingness — even eagerness — to share what we have each learned in the process of bringing stories to life. We provide educational programs, networking, marketing opportunities, encouragement, and information on industry vendors and services. And lots of one-on-one advice and mentoring.
We welcome all who have an interest in making connections within the world of independent publishing and learning more about how to publish and sell their work successfully. Together we are raising the standard of independent publishing and helping our members thrive.
Do join us!
