Pebble

Pebble is a excellent book for teaching children lessons about kindness and responsibility. It also lets children know that if you make poor decisions there can be some consequences. Pebble and his friend Travis depend on each other in a heartfelt book about their adventures together. While this book may be more appealing to young boys the lessons that Travis and Pebble learn are good lessons for all children. Travis is a going to grow up and be a better person because of his relationship with Pebble and the confidence and concentration Pebble helps Travis attain. While the book is playful and fun it has serious moments allowing for discussion about some of today's issues in our society, especially "bullying" Pebble is the one telling this story which makes Pebble and his feelings more realistic for the reader.

I am a retired grandma with five grandchildren. I was raised in the small town of Colville, WA but I now live in Spokane, WA. My father's family had many talented storytellers. I grew up listening to wonderful tales that I am sure were embellished in many places. Still, I learned many things from hearing those stories. When I was teaching school I would have the children close their eyes and listen to classical music and I made up stories to tell them while I was trying to follow the emotion of the music. I don't know why it has taken me so long to put pen to paper but here is my first book. I hope you enjoy it. -Karen
