Book Description
My love and appreciation for nature is rooted in my childhood. Growing up in rural Upstate New York, my life was filled with the wonders of nature. Our house was surrounded by apple and cherry orchards, and my five sisters and I spent countless hours gathering drops and climbing through the branches. Our parents were extremely accommodating when it came to pets! At one time or another, we had dogs, cats, a skunk, raccoons, a pig, a goat, guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils, a rooster, rabbits, fish, hermit crabs, turtles, and a duck! They were all well-loved members of our family. My husband, Gary, and I, along with our three children, were fortunate to be able to move back to my childhood home. So once again, there were orchards to explore and many pets to love and cherish. When our three granddaughters were born, I wanted to instill in them our family's love of nature. A humorous but educational book with unusual scientific facts about animals seemed a good way for me to do that, and to have their uncle illustrate it made it perfect! I hope that future generations of children will enjoy this book and learn to appreciate the world we live in.

The Guncle
Author: Steven Rowley
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1761107569
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 368
Book Description
From the author of Lily and the Octopus comes a moving and deeply funny novel about a once-famous sitcom star who is left to care for his niece and nephew after an unexpected family tragedy. Patrick, or Gay Uncle Patrick (GUP for short), has always loved his niece, Maisie, and nephew, Grant. That is, he loves spending time with them … in small doses, with their parents there to handle the tears and tricky questions. So when tragedy strikes and Patrick finds himself suddenly taking on the role of primary guardian, he is, honestly, overwhelmed. Patrick has no idea what to expect, having spent years barely holding on after the loss of his great love, a stalled acting career, and a lifestyle not-so-suited to young children. But when he realises that parenting isn’t solved with treats and jokes, Patrick’s eyes are opened to a new sense of responsibility and the realisation that, sometimes, being vulnerable is the only way to heal from grief. Tender, charming and laugh-out-loud funny, The Guncle is a testament to finding happiness and peace in the most trying of times. ‘Steven Rowley’s The Guncle is a gift. At once funny, charming and heartbreaking, it’s that rare novel that will have you laughing out loud, even through tears. I have yet to meet a person who did not love this book.’ Sally Hepworth, bestselling author of The Good Sister and The Younger Wife ‘A joyous Auntie Mame spritz! A reading pleasure; pour yourself a tall glass and enjoy, preferably poolside. You deserve it!’ Andrew Sean Greer, winner of the 2018 Pulitzer Prize for Less

Nuts, Squirrels and Knotholes in the Family Tree
Author: Dan Steinbeck
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1479736376
Category : Humor
Languages : en
Pages : 208
Book Description
Book Summary Nuts, Squirrels, and Knotholes in the Family Tree Many families have funny stories, and poignant moments passed through generations. Often, these stories are lost, because they arent written down. Some details of the antecdotes in this book are permanently lost, as are an untold number of then humorous occasions. For years, when family stories were told and retold with laughter, author Dan Steinbeck threatened to make them in a book. Some of the family - hopefully without regrets now encouraged him, and this is the result. This book is a compilation of short and generally humorous stories, specifically of the David Steinbeck family and ancestors, and extended branches in the family tree, all in northeast or eastern Missouri, west central or central Illinois. As may be obvious from the title and the cover, this is not a serious book, but the incidents are all true. Nuts, Squirrels, and Knotholes in the Family Tree was truly a family project, generations in the making. To be less mortifying for family members to have their humorous personal accounts included, the author bared his soul and included many of his own antics and circumstances. Its helpful, but not absolutely necessary to know any of the people in the book. It is the authors wish that fond family times will be recapped and recounted as he shows some of the great times of his family, and offers proof that yes, there are Nuts, Squirrels and Knotholes in the Family Tree.
