Author Information

B. Eleanor Angle is the author of the faith-friendly picture-book series Baylor's Big Adventures. She grew up in the foothills of Appalachia, where creeks curled through the woods and her Mamaw made childhood magical. The first book (and soon-to-be series) was shaped by family, faith, 4-H, and long days outdoors-and later by years of Scouting adventures with her son. Those roots-and the people who poured love and encouragement into her-became the foundation for these stories. She learned to find wonder in simple moments and believes the greatest adventures are found in everyday life: a quiet walk in the woods, a picnic by the river, a new friendship, or a shared prayer at bedtime. Through her cozy, nature-rich stories, she hopes to inspire children and families to slow down, savor the simple things, and tuck kindness, love, and faith into their hearts. When she isn't dreaming up new journeys for Baylor and his friends, she's baking, crafting keepsakes, or exploring the woods-one adventure at a time. Ecaterina Leascenco is a Moldovan children's-book illustrator known for cozy, hand-drawn scenes with soft textures and nature-rich detail. Born and trained in Chișinău, she spent childhood summers in her grandmother's village-sunlit orchards, simple traditions, and lots of sketchbook time-which still shape her warm palette and gentle storytelling. For Baylor's Big Adventures, she leans into tender character moments and friendly continuity-Cheddar's warm smile, Papa's kind gaze, and Baylor's curious lean-so every page feels like time with the same friends. Blending delicate pencil lines with painterly color, she creates a timeless picture-book feel made for forest trails, river light, and quiet, heart-warming moments. This book marks her collaboration with Little Pinetree Press.
