We’ll Be at The Bazaar: Come and See Us!!!

It’s the “West Warwick Angels Caring for Animals Holiday Bazaar” on Saturday, Nov 13, 2021, from 9:00AM -4:00 PM at Church of the Apostles, 170 Fairview Ave., Coventry, RI 02816 (for those familiar with Phenix section of West Warwick, Rhode Island, this church is at the base of Fairview Avenue.)

 

We’ll have our 3 books–“Boomerrrang” (for those considering a move, anywhere)…and 2 children’s books   (“Grandpa and the Truck,” Books 1 and 2) about a big rig driver who travels across America (one story is set in Rhode Island). These books (we’ll autograph and personalize) make great gifts you’ll need for the upcoming holidays. And we’ll have the trucker and a nifty model big rig.

So, a very worthy cause and a chance to pick up great holiday gifts.

Come one…come all. Hope to see you there.

Grandpa and the Truck: Book 2 Available for Purchase

Here he is– this trucker who awoke to find the roof blown clear off his hotel in Biloxi, Mississippi, in August of 1969.  Fiction?  Heck no…It was the night Category 5, Hurricane Camille whalloped that seaside town, leaving devastation in its wake (and experts recently worried about Isaac’s 80-mph winds!!!)

This trucker had many experiences in his 30 years on the road, and we tell of the most exciting ones in the Grandpa and the Truck stories.  But they’re decidedly “Not Just for Boys”.  In Book 2 (same one that has hurricane story), “Girl Truckers,” focuses on two Rhode Island women who showed the men just how good women could be at long-haul trucking. They were two of the forerunners of women, today, who drive the big rigs…

Each of the Grandpa and the Truck books is comprised of two beautifully-illustrated stories, Questions sheets that help with discussion, Trucker Terms, and Maps to help children acquire other-than-GPS knowledge of our great country.

Books are $9.99.

Soon will be the season of shopping for little ones, for Christmas and Kannukah.  Then, too, there are always those inevitable birthdays one must run out and buy a child’s gift for?  What’s better than educational  books that teach many things to little ones?

These books just could be the hit of the party and the books that child will cherish.
