BOOK DESCRIPTION

Raccoon Tales takes readers on a year-long adventure with five orphaned baby raccoons. What will happen to Shadow, Meeko, RC, Lucy, and Chatter?

Author Joy DeKok shares this true life journey in the first year of the lives of these little ''washbears.''

Written in easy-to-read verse, she tells their story with tenderness and energy.

Readers will leave the story glad they came, knowing more about raccoons, and what a wild animal rescue and release looks like. Illustrator Leslie Helen Colwin's delightful illustrations bring the story to life.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

A child at heart, author and speaker Joy DeKok enjoys children, especially her more than forty nieces and nephews. When she considers the miracle of Christmas and the love God showed by sending His Son, she is still amazed. Joy is the author of the picture book Room for Bandit and the novel Rain Dance. She lives with her husband Jon and their two dogs, Sophie and Tucker, in Pine Island, Minnesota.

Joy DeKok and her husband Jon live on thirty-five acres of woods and fields. In their valley is a small pond where they watch birds, dragonflies, and other wildlife who stop by for a drink.
