Lovely to Meet You!
We are Randy and Adalee Hude, a husband and wife team who felt called to start this tiny publishing company, Ave Lamb Books. Both of us are cradle Catholics, although each of us experienced a deepening of faith only as adults. We reside in the Pacific Northwest, a little outside of Portland, OR. We have two young and precious children, both adopted, and we love being parents. It is largely due to their influence that we started creating books together- books that we wanted to read to them, and books they would want us to read to them! We are squeezing in Ave Lamb Books into the margins of our family life. But this what God has called us to fill those extra moments with, so we hope that you and your family will be blessed by what we do.
About Randy
Randy Hude is absolutely wonderful.
Adalee Hude is a happy wife, mother, illustrator and author of Catholic children's books. Fueled largely by prayer and coffee, she has done artwork for Catholic magazines, stickers, and prayer journals as well. Her own books include Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus : An Introductory Latin Missal for Children, and Light of Heaven: A Children’s Book of Saints. Adalee also has a Substack newsletter called A Brightly Hude Life. She runs Brightly Hude Studio when she's not running around with kids. Baking is her love language!
About Adalee
Our mission
We're on a mission to change the way the housing market works. Rather than offering one service or another, we want to combine as many and make our clients' lives easy and carefree. Our goal is to match our clients with the perfect properties that fit their tastes, needs, and budgets.
Our vision
We want to live in a world where people can buy homes that match their needs rather than having to find a compromise and settle on the second-best option. That's why we take a lot of time and care in getting to know our clients from the moment they reach out to us and ask for our help.
Our Authors & Illustrators
So far... it's just us! We have plans to expand... little by very little!
