About the Books
The picture book, How Happy Is a Lark? turns similes upside-down, finally answering in funny and delightful ways, timeless questions such as “how wise is an owl?” and “how clever is a fox?”
This introduction for young children (ages 3-6) to a fun aspect of language features joyful artwork that will make you smile. How fast is a jackrabbit? A jackrabbit beats a shooting star in a race across the Milky Way!
The newest book, Into The Thicket is based on a real-life adventure when the author’s (then) young son found an injured baby rabbit in the backyard.The fictionalized story follows the journey of young Patrick and the rabbit one springtime in Michigan. The book beautifully portrays an appreciation for wildlife. The universal emotions of compassion, and loving and letting go are central elements of the boy’s experience.
