"The Silvery Flute"
by Bethany Andrews-Lloyd • Illustrations by Ruth Andrews-Vreeland
From 2021 through June of 2025, I worked slowly but diligently on all the illustrations for my younger sister Bethany Lloyd's children's book, titled: "The Silvery Flute" which she wrote years ago. Bethany is an elementary school-teacher in Blue Springs, MO, and she also happens to be a phenomenal Flutist! We are now ready to publish and sell this sweet book! Stay tuned -- and enjoy this sneak peek at some of the illustrations. (My models were my two granddaughters, Ethne & Cambria Gard, and my sweet 92-year old Dad, Joseph Andrews.)
