Читать книгу Kentucky Tails - Betsy Byrne - Страница 4

My family and I have always taken pleasure in making stories up about the various animals that have crossed our paths. My husband was able to retire early and we decided to move several States away to a totally different culture for us. These adventures of animals are the ones that scamper about our home here in the wooded country of Bowling Green, Kentucky.

On our cross country trek to get here we were able to stop at the majestic Grand Canyon. While looking at the photos that we took after we got our home situated I loved the photo that Kevin had taken of the squirrel that appeared to be sharing the view of the canyon with him. That’s how the idea of this story started.

The entirety of this book is absolutely a family affair, from the title to the photos that were taken by Kevin to many of the names of the characters being made up by our son Kasey. Kentucky is a special place to live and even though we were always ‘city folk’ we are amazed every day by the abundance of little critters scampering about. Every single day we wake up to birds greeting the morning with their beautiful songs and chipmunks scurrying in and out of their dens. The squirrels are rather special to me; they are so comical and will put a smile on any body’s face that watches them. A day hasn’t gone unnoticed by us or taken for granted of the beauty abound.
