In the wide world of children’s literature, there’s a gifted young author who has already written two books and he lives in our own backyard. His name is Landen Sanders; he is five years old and lives in Edina with his mother, DeGalynn Wade Sanders, and father, Lance Sanders, a food scientist and patent attorney.

Together, father and son published a beautifully written and illustrated book series, Duckie Goosie Tales, that’s accessible to kids from two to five years old, but will appeal to children of all ages. Landen’s grandmother Lynn Wade illustrates the stories told by Landen.
