Ess-CAR-Go!

My newest children's picture book, "Ess-CAR-Go!" will be releasing later this month!

This book was so much fun to write and illustrate.

It all started because, where I currently live in Barbados, it is very warm and sunny with lots of random rain showers. On most days, you really have to hunt for snails. On rainy days though--they are EVERYWHERE! And even though people think they move quite slowly, it's actually pretty fast!

I have had a great time watching them run their snail olympics and of course the Ess-Car Go! Garlik Buttr sponsored "Snails in Motion Tour". This racing circuit is followed closely by all the garden residents. You'll see geckos, frogs, bugs, more snails, birds of many descriptions, and often Oscar--the big orange stray cat who comes to have breakfast with me most days.

From regular garden snails up to large Giant African Land Snails, they are fascinating to watch. Your children will truly enjoy this book--all my test children demanded more and I'm being forced to create a book about Doc Hopper now thanks to his heroic efforts to save an injured snail.

Happy reading and I hope to hear from you soon!

If you read or enjoy any of my books, I appreciate your reviews and comments. I'd also love to hear from you, so please reach out!
