An important note on shipping:

Shipping is expensive and we don’t make money on it. We know the amount is high - this is a true reflection of how much shipping costs.

There are four shipping categories - 1. In-store pick up (no shipping), 2. United States, 3. Canada, and 4. Rest of World.  PLEASE make sure that your shipping choice reflects where you want the book shipped to! We will be checking the orders each week, and if your shipping address does not match the shipping you have paid for, we will contact you once, via email, and if we do not hear from you within a week we will cancel and refund your order. That email will come directly from us - from either cathy@bluewillowbookshop.com or subscriptions@bluewillowbookshop.com.

About the Author:

Anne Twist was inspired to write Betty and the Mysterious Visitor, her first children’s book, by her own family’s love of reading and sharing stories. When her children were little, she read aloud to them constantly, especially at bedtime. After the death of her husband in 2017, Twist turned to writing poetry as a way of navigating her feelings of grief and loss. Her garden in the countryside of Cheshire, England, brought her peace as her craft grew and was the place where this story first bloomed. She hopes her debut book becomes a bedtime favorite.

Emily Sutton graduated from Edinburgh College of Art with a degree in illustration. She is the illustrator of Tiny Creatures: The World of Microbes, Many: The Diversity of Life on Earth, Grow: Secrets of Our DNA, and The First Book of the Sea, all written by Nicola Davies, as well as The Christmas Eve Tree by Delia Huddy. In addition to illustrating picture books, she paints, sculpts, and designs prints. Emily Sutton lives in England. Follow Emily Sutton on Instagram @EmilySuttonArtist.
