Read book reviews from children

 
Over 37,000 copies  of these books have been sold to date

In addition to my stone carvings I have written and illustrated six books of children's stories.
  1. Eagle's Reflection
  2. Orca's Family
  3. Raven's Call
  4. Salmon's Journey
  5. Nature's Circle
  6. 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.
