I love it!

Please post outside your state group so more dudes see it.

You, and Ms Beschorner created an enchanting story the littles in my life will adore. Also, I appreciate having something to read to them I can also enjoy.

It's delightful judging from the sample. I'll give you a glowing review once it's in my hands.

I see this becoming a popular future gift in my circle. I'll start the spread and I'm sure it will catch on.

It touches upon how mankind often unwittingly throws nature out of balance and there is a spirit element in the book attempting to put it back in balance.

It makes the viewer want to explore what's inside. Congratulations, you have a winner.

This is the image on the back cover:

What beautiful artwork! I can hardly wait to read your book. Congratulations and good luck with your sales!

I will definitely check it out.

I worked in an art studio in my twenties and I appreciate beautiful artwork. Your illustrator does such lovely work.

Thank you for sharing this with us. I look forward to receiving my book!

Just ordered a copy to give to my grand daughter on her next birthday. I knew if I waited I would forget about it and would miss the opportunity to bring this joy into her life.
The cover art sealed the deal.
Thank You for sharing your book with us.

I lived 35 years in California before that. I have spent many hundreds of days fishing for trout in pristine mountain streams. It gives pleasure to be able to share some of those trout experiences with my grand daughter thru the medium of your book.

so ended up taking photos of the creeks and woods as he fished. But my imagination use to be on fire imagining what it would be like to be a trout living in a mountain creek and to be able to explore up different canyons etc. I am sure you had similar experiences.

Was in Little Rock and Hot Springs for Thanksgiving in fall of 2019. My brother in law grew up in Benton. I really enjoyed Little Rock! First time I had spent any time there.

and your book sounds great, especially for all our travelers. The newest National Geographic (with Mysteries of a Virus on the cover) has a good article "Are We Born to Wander? It is not a rational activity but it's in our genes."

Salmon and Steelhead trout by spawning in small creeks, often in high mountains, then migrating to the Ocean. So Alexander has this kind of adventure built into his blood. However, the story revolves around how Brown Trout were taken from the Black Forest of Germany and stocked in creeks around the US. So Alexander Trout who's earliest memories are of being in a fish hatchery, learns he is from the Swiss Alps and sets out on an adventure to see his true home waters and find out about his family. It touches a lot on how humans have screwed up ecosystems and thrown things out of balance with invasive species and so on a deeper level it's about putting nature back in balance. There are spiritual forces guiding him through the book.
