‘Thanks for taking such good care of me, Jim’
Award winning children’s book author Deanie Humphrys-Dunne write enchanting stories that not only entertain youngsters and share insights into developmental life lessons, but by placing the stories with animal (and mechanical!) characters, the stories become more accessible for learning. This book A TRACTOR NAMED WILBUR is enhanced by the superb illustrations of Holly Humphrys-Bajaj, Deanie’s talented sister.
Wilbur is a red tractor whose owner, Jim McNab, is his best friend. Together they mow the yard, pull a cart, scoop the snow, and Wilbur is appreciated not only by Jim, but by neighbors. Jim always compliments Wilbur and Wilbur is happy working with Jim. But one day Jim informs Wilbur that he plans to buy the lot across the street to create his own vegetable farm, and Jim feels Wilbur is too old to join him. Though Wilbur is sad and doesn’t want to be replaced, Jim assures him that in the new home Jim will find for him, there will be many animals – chickens, cats, dogs – and that makes Wilbur happy.
This is a fine story about friendship, about enjoying chores, and about changes that can open doors for new possibilities. Children (and their reading parents!) will have fun while learning
From the reviews of your other books, I can see that you are a consummate writer for children. Although it wasn't said in the description, I believe that the story will also teach children how to maintain and protect their toys so they can be repurposed for less privileged children in the future.
Colorful interactive book for teaching children the ABC's using God’s creation of the animal kingdom and featuring some of His most exotic creature. More importantly the book segues into the very special love God has for children.
