🌸✨ Something new is blooming at Pine Veil Press. ✨🌸

Meet Larkspur Lane Books — our brand-new imprint made just for kids!

Picture a little lane where every door opens onto a story… where dragons need bedtime too, where the bravest hero might be the smallest one in the room, and where "just one more chapter" is always the right answer. That's the place we're building, one book at a time.

Larkspur Lane is for the giggling-under-the-covers crowd, the flashlight readers, the kids who ask "but what happens next?" — and for the grown-ups who get to read it all out loud.

Come wander down the Lane with us. 🌿📚

The Zoo on the Loose Written & illustrated by Rylie Bushnell · A Larkspur Lane Books Original

One sleepy night, when the stars hang low, the big zoo gate swings open — and the animals go to town. Literally.

The lions discover a backyard barbecue. The zebras find a vegetable garden too tempting to resist. Giraffes peek through the windows for cooling muffins, snakes slip in for a midnight spaghetti feast, and the pandas settle onto a cozy porch with bamboo and pears. By morning the whole town is wide awake and wondering: how did the zoo end up here? It takes one clever young girl named Maya — and a very smart trail of snacks — to lead every full and happy creature back home before the keeper locks the gate tight.

Told in warm, bouncy rhyme and bursting with cheerful, snack-stealing animal families, The Zoo on the Loose is a giggle-out-loud bedtime favorite about mischief, full tummies, and the kind of night that's so much fun you can't help wishing you could do it all over again.

Perfect for ages 3–7, for lap-reading and read-alouds, and for anyone who's ever wondered what the zoo gets up to after dark.
