Synopsis

Just as a weary little girl is about to fall asleep, a door within a door appears in her bedroom. Its knob is as bright as a shining star, and a magical adventure isn’t far. Brave and curious, she opens the door—and oh, what marvels she is in for! She discovers a wonderful world full of miraculous beings—mermaids splashing in golden lakes, friendly dragons racing wagons, purple creatures with curly beards, and dancing fairies twirling in song. New friends beckon to come have fun and play—until she’s again ready to hit the hay. A bedtime rhyme aimed at children two to five years old, this charming story follows a young girl on the kind of adventure that is especially alluring to the imaginative and daring spirit of a young child. Its carefully crafted words full of color and delight open the door within a door to a realm completely different from our own—where children come face to face with wondrous magic!

About the Author

Angie Joyce Halama and Matthew Paul Halama met while both were studying teaching at the University of Wisconsin–Eau Claire. Angie went on to earn a master’s degree in education from Grand Canyon University, and she has taught middle school for ten years at various schools in Wisconsin, Arizona, and Minnesota. Matthew taught elementary school for several years in Arizona before switching to a career in the global trade/logistics industry.

Their daughter, Ellianna—the inspiration for Door within a Door—was born in 2013. Like the book’s main character, she has messy blond hair and dancing blue eyes. Every day, with her relentless spunk and independent spirit, she motivates her parents to be more creative and fun. The whole family shares a love for fantastical stories of magical creatures, mysterious places, and adventurous wonder.
