Local Children's Book Author Releases Third Children's Book, "Crunchy Carrots: Carrots of Wisdom for Little Ones."
Inspired by a thirteen year friendship with a great blue heron and becoming a step mother to three little ones. Ten gentle life lessons.

It all started thirteen years ago when we built two ponds and filled them with fish. This was followed by a visit from a great blue heron. Our family became friends with this heron, we call Henry. After a few years of friendship with this amazing bird I decided to share our story and wrote, "The Most Unusual Pet Ever: Henry Our Great Blue Heron and His Adventures." My next inspiration came from being a step mother to three little ones. I had a desire to share some of life's lessons with them at every turn, probably annoying to them. So, I created a book series called Kids Carrots Book Series. "Baby Carrots: Carrots of Wisdom for Little Ones" was the first of the series and now we have the second, "Crunchy Carrots: Carrots of Wisdom for Little Ones." Each book contains ten short tales from Henry the Great Blue Heron in the garden, where his critter friends play, laugh, and learn some of life's lessons along the way. All books can be purchased on our website, www.HenryTheGreatBlueHeron.com and on Amazon. Signed copies are available at; Read Booksellers, East Bay Nature, Lindsay Wildlife Experience, and Wild Birds Unlimited. A portion of every book sold goes to Shepherd's Gate Shelter for Women and Children. Thank you!
