The Backyard Boys Book 1

Welcome to The Backyard Boys, an enchanting new children's book series. In Book 1 you'll meet Steven and Dillon, two spirited brothers, whose adventures unfold in the magical world of their Grandma Mimi's backyard. With curiosity and laughter as their guide, the boys discover the joys of nature, experience the delight of cookies fresh from Grandma Mimi's oven, give a backyard bird the perfect nickname, Bandit, and puzzle over the mystery of a strange rock that even Grandma Mimi doesn't know about. Along the way, the book teaches children the value of patience, friendship, imagination, love of nature, and even the beginnings of becoming young Birders. Written in five short parts, the book is perfect for reading aloud at bedtime over five nights, or for young independent readers ready to enjoy a story on their own. The lively colorful illustrations by Elena Sanchez bring Grandma Mimi's yard and its many surprises to life, while touches of humor and magic make ever page unforgettable.
