A is for Alpine: An Alphabet Book for Little Hikers (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Intended for backpacking parents who want to introduce their children to the world beyond the roads, A Is For Alpine is part alphabet book (using words and pictures of things that children might encounter hiking and camping), and part inspirational picture books. Photos taken during the authors' family trips with their own two boys feature Western mountain scenery and camping fun. The presence of the children in many of the pictures helps reinforce the idea that backpacking is an activity suited to small children.

Autorenporträt

After a lifetime of reading and a decade of slinging books at the library and herding cats with the PTA, Rebecca began to turn her experiences into books of her own, publishing her first (The Ninja Librarian) in 2012. That failed to quiet the voices in her head, but seemed to entertain a number of readers, so she wrote some more, which generated still more voices. Despite the unlimited distractions provided by raising children and serving the local schools in various capacities, not to mention the mountains that keep calling (very hard to resist the urging of something the size of the Sierra Nevada), she has managed to produce many more books in the years since.

For those who enjoy murder and mayhem with a sense of humor, Rebecca's Pismawallops PTA mysteries provide insights into what PTA moms and island life are really like. Her new Seffi Wardwell mystery series brings her light touch to life on the coast of Maine. If you prefer tall tales and even less of a grip on reality, visit Skunk Corners in The Ninja Librarian and its sequels. And for those who've always thought that fantasy was a bit too high-minded, a stumble through rescues and escapes with Halitor the Hero, possibly the most hapless hero to ever run in fear from any and all fair maidens, should set you straight.

Through it all, she has continued to pen flash fiction, for a time sharing a new story on her blog nearly every week. Now those stories are getting new life in a series of novella-length ebooks, with an omnibus paperback coming soon.

Why does Rebecca write so many different kinds of books and stories (there's even an alphabet picture book in the mix!)? It might be because she has a rich lifetime of experience that requires expression in many ways, but it's probably just that she's easily distracted.

Rebecca has lived in states all over the western US, as well as in Maine and abroad, and currently resides in Seattle, Washington.
