Meadow Brook Farm Publishing LLC presents Elianya’s Story, a book for young readers exploring imagined life in ancient Wisconsin. Written by Leon Janssen and illustrated by Heather Gayton, the book follows a Native girl and offers a readable perspective on what life near the Oconto River may have been like thousands of years ago. Its story is inspired by an actual artifact from an ancient village at what is now Couillardville, connecting archaeological evidence with the people and experiences behind it.

The project also highlights the history of Couillardville and its relevance to rural communities. The website shares information about the book, its author, illustrator, and contributors, along with endorsements from local history representatives. Visitors can learn more about the story, explore related artifacts and other learning materials, and view or order the book.

Through this publication and its supporting resources, Meadow Brook Farm Publishing brings regional history to younger audiences, encouraging readers to consider the human stories that artifacts can suggest, even when those stories cannot be known with certainty
