Painted Thistle Press

We are a mother-daughter author-illustrator team behind the multi-award-winning book, The Acorn and the Oak. We have a stuffed acorn designed by my daughter, along with a Storybook Walk, Lesson Plans, and a Teacher's Guide. Her award-winning illustrations have been made into beautiful watercolor prints, both framed and unframed, as well as cards, bookmarks, purse charms, and magnets. We also offer nature-themed earrings, ornaments, keychains, tic-tac-toe boards, and high-quality stuffed animals that go with the book. We have a Storyteller set that will be part of a new Michigan series of picture books coming out soon.
