I am equally stoked and humbled by the positive response I’ve had to my book so far. If you haven’t had a chance to read it, here are 6 great reasons why you should:
1. Kids will love the animal characters, the illlustrations, and the story, and they’ll learn things along the way about friendship and the real critters the characters are based on
2. The story isn’t just for kids—adults will enjoy the writing style and will relate to the themes and characters
3. Fun and colorful illustrations that have been hand drawn—no AI here!
4. Completely original story that, while fictional, was inspires by real people and real events
5. Learn some actual facts about the animals and habitats featured in the story
6. You’ll be supporting a small, independent author who is working hard to bring quality literature to kids, and who is risking it all to pursue this dream

I’ve come a long way with colored pencils from my start in 2015 to now. Still have a long way to go, but swipe to see some very visible progress!
