The Land of the Pines is the first book in the Loodor Tales Series and a must-read, magical journey to discovering one's voice.

When Grey the Kitten is born at Black Mountain Farm, Miss Jay the Bird is promptly assigned as her guardian. Some animals find it strange that a bird would be assigned to oversee the success of a barn kitten. Some animals… but not Miss Jay.

Miss Jay knows that this kitten is different. This kitten will change not just their lives, but the lives of many animals to come. After all, this kitten has a magical voice. She just doesn’t know it yet. Grey does know she’s meant to be more than a barn cat, but she isn’t the only one with ideas about her future.

The Black Widow and her Harrowing Hourglass have big plans for the farm, and Grey could be the key to stopping them from controlling the whole mountain―and all the animals who reside there. When the Widow traps Grey in a web of deceit, will this special kitten give up control over her destiny? Or will she become an example of what’s possible when you have the courage to forge your own path?

Filled with unpredictable twists and turns, The Land of the Pines is a story of friendship and fortitude, connecting audiences of all ages to the power of intention and the journey of discovering one’s identity.

The Loodor Tales Series launched with The Land of the Pines. The ongoing series includes sequels, The Land of the Strays and The Land of the Trade. Loodor publishes, produces, and distributes books, curriculum, and experiences designed to instill self-worth, offset the effects of social media, and support mental well-being among today’s youth.
