Here I am with a young children's book completed and out, and it is my first time blogging. I certainly hope that parents who are disappointed with children's books today will read Elbridge The Colonial Squirrel. It is an adventurous tale of a brave little squirrel who witnesses the signing of the Declaration of Independence as he is traveling home to tell his mother what he had experienced, he is trapped and captured by an evil trapper. With the help of friends, Elbridge is able to escape, and return safely home to his mother. It is this experience which further deepens Elbridge's understanding and appreciation for personal freedom, as well as freedom from England. He with then invites his friends to sit and share a meal together with he and his mother.
