In addition to
my stone carvings I have written and illustrated six books of children's stories.
- Eagle's
Reflection
- Orca's
Family
- Raven's Call
- Salmon's
Journey
- Nature's
Circle
- Grizzly's
Home
All six books are 48 pages, with soft 8" x 8" covers.
Each contains about 16 to 20 short fables with one of my
graphic illustrations to go with each story.
The stories
and accompanying illustrations bring a unique perspective
to lessons we can learn from nature and the world around
us. They are meant to be shared and enjoyed among family
and friends and are perfect for reading to young
children.
The books are
available from most bookstores in British Columbia for
$9.95 ($ Canadian). Bookstores can order copies for you
from the publisher, Heritage House
Publishing Company Limited, of Surrey, British
Columbia, Canada.
Signed copies
are available from me, using my order form.
In the United
States you can order the books via any major bookseller.
Advise the store that they can order via Ingrams, the
U.S. wholesaler.
