Description

Sometimes suspenseful, and highlighted by humor, this collection of enjoyable rhyming tales offers insight into life in the wild world. Three separate, lushly illustrated, animal stories contribute to the tradition of allegorical children's literature. Written to amuse and inspire, they convey civil, practical and moral lessons mostly to the young, but also to adults who read aloud. Comparisons with everyday situations add to the adventure. Rich vocabulary and meaningful ideas are enhanced by a fun cadence and engaging imagery. In a time of electronically mediated communications, more contemplative tales and classical pictures serve as a welcome respite to readers who are reminded to peer past crookedness and treasure what is genuine. May beauty, truth and good always inspire us!

Author Bio

Andrea Nutt Falce is the mother to three fun boys and one heroic girl. She is an Italian-trained, classical realist artist and a late night sketcher of stories. Andrea is married to a Coast Guard helicopter pilot whose flight career frequently lands the family in exotic places. Lately, the majority of their endeavors occur between a sultry forest and a salty bayou in Northwest, Florida. Desire to serve the uplifting light of beauty, the hope of goodness and a never ending craving for truth, motivate her work. She is captivated by the vastness of life and refuses to be confined by screens. Sometimes lost in art, Andrea finds herself in the Word.
