Peggy Stuart: books, biography, news, upcoming events | BookBaby Bookshophttps://store.bookbaby.com/profile/PeggyStuartThe author grew up in New England and moved to California as a teenager. With husband and children she has lived in many states in the US as well as elsewhere in the world. She has worked in various fields as the family relocated due to her husband's job. Her occupations included teaching, social work, and magazine writing and editing. The interest in pediatric cancer stems from volunteer work with Therapy Animals of Utah, where she and one of her dogs visited camp Hobé, a summer camp for children impacted by cancer. This led to the decision to donate the royalties from the book to pediatric cancer research and treatment. She is currently retired and living in Bend, Oregon, with her husband and two dogs. The Doll's Storybook originated as a weekly story blog for the author's grandchildren in June 2018. There is a new story every week.

Mariah: Stories from The Doll's Storybook by Peggy Stuart | BookBaby Bookshophttps://store.bookbaby.com/book/mariah1There are three stories in the book. In the first story, the newly arrived Mariah starts exploring her world––one made for real people to live in. In the second story, Mariah goes on to become close friends with Charlotte, even though they have different beliefs, and in the final story, she discovers a talent for writing and the associated challenges. Mariah and the other characters in the stories are dolls who live and have adventures while living in the real world. The fact that Mariah is a doll, sometimes creates obstacles for her, but they are situations that will be familiar to children and even adults. In the stories, children learn about facing difficulties and about forming relationships. Although this is primarily a picture book, the stories will appeal to children of all ages, boys as well as girls, and should also be enjoyed by adults who like dolls. The story ideas and text become gradually more complex with each story. The large type is suitable for even young readers.Paperback

Classic Tales Retold: Stories from The Doll's Storybook by Peggy Stuart | BookBaby Bookshophttps://store.bookbaby.com/book/classic-tales-retoldThe cast of The Doll's Storybook take on personalities of characters in well-known classic children's stories: Little Red Riding Hood, The Boy Who Cried Wolf and Hansel and Gretel. Although each of the stories has a twist, children and adults who are familiar with these stories will recognize them at once. Each page contains one or more photos of the characters acting out the scenes, making the text easier to understand for young readers or children using the stories to learn English. The cast of characters for the stories are realistic-looking dolls with elbow and knee joints, which allow them to move around easily, but their environment is one real children can identify with. They live in a house made for real people and spend time outdoors in a human-person's world. Dolls living in a world suitable for people sometimes run into difficulties! The first story is Little Green Greatcoat. A girl doll takes a basket of food through the woods to her human grandmother's house and meets a wolf. Things don't go as the wolf (or the reader) expects, though, and the happy ending isn't as messy as the original. The Boy Doll Who Cried Wolf follows. This story follows the original closely, except that the sheep don't belong to the boy doll, and none of them is harmed. Readers will recognize another character from children's literature who makes a cameo appearance. In the third story, Lost in the Woods, a boy doll and a girl doll lose their way following a rabbit and look for help at the home of an old human woman who has interesting dietary preferences. Will they find out in time? Will the dolls escape? This is the third book in a series. Each is a standalone book, so they do not have to be read in order. The Doll's Storybook is a favorite of doll collectors, as well as children. The stories are like photojournalism but with fiction; like graphic novels with photos. The story blog The Doll's Storybook, began in 2018 as a way to share stories with the author's grandchildren who all live a long way away. Other adults and children found the stories, and parents and grandparents began to ask for a physical book––one they could read to their children or that the children could read to themselves and not use up their screen time.Paperback
