Find out why Turkeys were almost our national bird. And, what's so special about Buford the Mule? It's all in this book to be enjoyed by children and adults alike. As one commentator stated, "Amazing artwork, and the poems will brighten any child's day." B.C.'s participation in backpacking, skiing and canoeing led to many adventures outdoors and an appreciation of nature's wildlife. Recently retired from property management, he now enjoys being a grandfather and, as has been said, "Fixing coffee and putting seed in the bird feeders." Partnering with his wife Beverly on this book has been great fun for both. Beverly paints in several different mediums and teaches workshops throughout Texas. Her credits include Signature Membership in the Outdoor Painters Society, and the Southwestern Watercolor Society. She is also a member of Oil Painters of America, American Impressionist Society, American Watercolor Society and DFW Urban Sketchers. She may be reached at her website, bevboren.com. B.C. continues to write to entertain children. He is working on his next book titled, "Flossie's Story." Flossie is a little sparrow that lived with B.C.'s family during her many adventures.
