A Holiday Invitation from Author & Illustrator Liv McLean
There’s something magical about a child opening a book at Christmas—the way their eyes widen, the way the world slows down for a moment, and how a simple story can become a memory that lasts a lifetime.
As a children’s author and illustrator, nothing makes my heart happier than knowing one of my books has nestled its way into a family’s holiday traditions. This season, I’d love to invite you—warmly, humbly, joyfully—to consider adding a Liv McLean book to your child’s stocking or under the tree.
Why? Because stories aren’t just gifts…They’re hugs wrapped in paper.
🎁 Why Children Love These Books
Every story I create—whether it’s The Barn Street Boys, Barrel Racer Hazel, Finny Minny Meow, Bobby and the Chocolate Bar, or one of my many other adventures—is designed with:
🌟 Laughter and joy🌟 Real Canadian charm🌟 Whimsical characters kids fall in love with🌟 Gentle lessons about kindness, courage, and belonging🌟 Artwork painted with heart, fun, and colour
These books are perfect for ages 4 to 12—and I often hear from parents, grandparents, teachers, and even teens who adore them just as much as the kiddos.
🎨 A Gift That Supports Canadian Creators
When you purchase a children’s book from a local Canadian author, you’re not just buying a story. You’re supporting:
A real artist (hi, it’s me! Liv McLean 👋)
Small-town creativity, from Wasaga Beach here!
Independent publishing, Plowman Publishing.
The continuation of heartfelt, homegrown storytelling!
Your support means the world—truly. Every book sold helps me keep creating magical worlds for kids everywhere.
🎅 Perfect Stocking Stuffers
If you need something sweet, fun, and easy to slip into a stocking, these books are exactly that little “something extra” kids will remember.
You can shop all my books—beautifully printed, lovingly written, and illustrated by me—right on Amazon.
👉 Just search “Liv McLean” on Amazon, and all the stories will pop up like ornaments on a tree.
(And thank you, from the bottom of my paint-splattered heart, for doing so.)
🌟 Wishing You a Season of Stories
Whether your holidays are noisy, quiet, snowy, sunny, chaotic, or perfectly peaceful, I hope they’re filled with moments of connection—and of course, stacks of beautiful books.
Thank you for supporting Canadian artists.Thank you for reading to your children.Thank you for letting my stories into your homes.
Merry Christmas, with love and gratitude,
Liv McLean 🎄💛📚✨
