    THE THREE BROTHERTEERS- 1ST PRINT EDITION- HARDBACK

    THE THREE BROTHERTEERS- 1ST PRINT EDITION- HARDBACK

    10.00
    THE THREE BROTHERTEERS, focuses on the imaginative play of three close-knit brothers, Barris, Kensington, and Zachary, as they race about outside on a chilly autumn evening, pretending that the family dog and the frisky squirrels are characters within their topsy-turvy escapades. While their mother prepares supper inside for the family, the brothers dash around the wind-swept backyard, portraying themselves as fearless sailors battling pretend pirates who challenge the boys as they bring their ideas to life with raucous joy and creativity.

      Inspired by my destination, I choose to write.

    • about me

       

      As a native San Diegan, I have always loved going to the beach with my three young children. I would sit on the sand and just let all of these creative ideas run through my mind as I would watch my children play and splash around in the water. I slowly began to write down all of my ideas and in 2008, I took a pen to paper and wrote my first story. Before I realized it, I had written four children's stories that following year. I decided to take a small break to finish my degree from San Diego State University. In 2011, I wrote The Three Brotherteers, which is inspired by my own children. My oldest son Barris, who is autistic, is nonverbal and unable to read or write. I would watch my children play and was simply amazed how well they understood their older brother Barris, included him in play despite his inability to communicate. I felt inspired to write a book that would reflect the vivacious creativity and sense of adventure of my children, in hopes to inspire others that all children need is a little help, a little hope, and somebody to believe in them.
