Tiny Tradesmen was the brainchild of a simple conversation with one of my girlfriends who has two young boys. Neither her nor her husband work in a trade or are even very "handy" (her words, not mine); however, my friend wants her boys to be open to the trades and open to pursuing
different kinds of careers.
Of course, that wasn't my first inspiration. My first inspiration was my hardworking husband! I am a proud linewife, who has been blessed by this trade and the fruits of my husband's labor. Knowing the freedom this trade offers as well as the satisfaction it provides for my husband and fellow tradesman and women, he and I are passionate about encouraging the next generation to pursue life on the lines.
But, Tiny Tradesmen extends beyond line work. It is about encouraging children to consider a career in any trade while also teaching them that a four-year degree is not the only path toward success. (Hint: There will be more books to come!) The trades are more important and in higher demand than ever. My husband and I pride ourselves in taking the "road less traveled" — we hope your children will be inspired to do the same.
