About the Land of Xee

Mighty Xee

Fine artist, singer songwriter and picture book author-illustrator Mighty Xee lives on a little lake in Western Massachusetts with her poetic, wine-loving husband Gary. There, rascal geese, tree-devouring beaver and majestic blue herons frequently appear in children’s stories that address environmental issues in fantastical, whimsical ways.

For example, who could forget a multi-species Critter – part raccoon, zebra and dragon – who only eats litter?
