Great discussion starter for kids! I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book to my best friend’s child, and the illustrations and story are well-constructed. It is a great discussion starter to talk about the “big ideas” of the world. In addition to a sweet story, there are boxes with vocabulary to help build word blocks, and there is a discussion/questions sections to talk about the themes of the book with kids. A fun, “mem”orable read!- Sandra Eckard
Lovely book. I absolutely loved this book. Colorful pages and a whimsical story all rolled into a lovely children’s book. Mrs. Walker is a very talented writer. – Dawn Hartung
Author Jody Walker, M.A believes that behind all the discernible laws and connections, there remains something subtle, intangible and inexplicable. Veneration for this incomprehensible essence is her passion. Jody is a mother of two and grandmother of two and owns a pottery studio called Sacred Earth Art.
Illustrator Shannon Benson, B.A. Theatre and an Associate’s in Early Childhood/Elementary Education, and working on a BFA in sculpture/illustration. His interest was piqued after hearing Jody speak her poetry and was drawn to the way her wisdom would unfold in stories similar to Jim Henson.
Jody and Shannon have also published Sophie, Milo and the Great Change.
