Aunt Mary’s Pottery

Carole Sarkan

"Aunt Mary's Pottery" is a true story about a woman named Mary who was stricken with a disease called polio at an early age yet made her life creating stunning pottery to sell. Mary saw the happy side the side of moving ahead, no matter what. Through her courage and belief in herself, this story shows the life of Mary in all her trials and challenges and how her unique pottery changed her life and became a favorite in everyone's home. When Mary's hands became stiff and sore, she learned how to turn her hands backwards to mold her pottery. Coincidentally, the illustrator Emily broke her shoulder shortly after starting her illustrations for this book and had to learn a new way to paint. Mary's love of art and nature helped her create a peaceful, contented life. Cats, geese, turtles, swans, ducks, herons, and sandpipers are just a few of the local animals that she painted on her earthen pieces. Emily's vibrant images and colors depict the many sides of Mary throughout her life. This is a book about healing and hope. Soon this book will be another classic and Carole cannot wait to share it with the world.
