Sh, Sh, Sh!

Quiet as a mouse

This is the hibernating house. . . .



Sandy Leahy and Kathy Tarentino, two retired early childhood teachers, have been drawn out of hibernation by their love of children's literature. Teaching in Raynham, Massachusetts, for most of their careers, these friends and colleagues and now authors know the importance of reading daily to children, including their own six grandchildren. Their mutual love of the rhyming word, dream of writing a children's book, and attraction to New England's quintessential coastal towns have been the inspiration for creating The Hibernating House.
