B. Smith has taught school for 30 years and was the recipient of several awards in the fields of science and language arts. He believes that encouraging students to write, whether fiction or non-fiction, is one of the best ways to encourage a love of learning. This is his second book.

Lush and vivid illustrations by self-taught Canadian artist, Joseph Koensgen (www.josephkoensgen.com), bring this tale of two friends, who have very different ideas of what happiness means, to life. Joseph has been painting from a young age and has a keen interest in nature and a passion for wildlife.
