Produktbeschreibung
Here is a delightful Medieval adventure, a story lovingly told within a story. In a dynamic unfolding, Grandpa delights seven-year-old Mac with tales about the brave squires and knights who populated their family history, including the famous knight in the Scottish Rothesay Castle who shares the same name. Mac is particularly curious about the ring Grandpa wears and its thrilling history: it once belonged to a squire with the dreams-the same dreams Mac now has, 600 years later. Squire With Fire illuminates and educates and even surprises. The dragon who plays the supporting role makes the lessons particularly exciting. Along the way, Mac learns about chivalry, bravery, ingenuity, and the role of humour in escaping tricky situations. Best of all, Squire With Fire explodes expectations around gender roles and throws wide the assumptions about what little girls and little boys might do with their lives.
Autorenporträt
Skinny Legs and Fat Cheeks is Joseph's third children's book. His two other books, Squire With Fire - A Happy Dragon Tale and Squire With Fire - When Sparks Fly are both award-winning. Joseph wrote them for his daughter, Mallory, after making a promise when she was two years old that he would write a book based on dragons and knights. When Mallory informed Joseph that he would be a grandfather, he immediately wrote the Squire With Fire book series for his granddaughter, Isla. He has enjoyed writing other stories to highlight life lessons and values while entertaining the young readers with imaginative adventures. His writing also includes writing screenplays which have been optioned in Hollywood as well as upcoming young adult novels. Joseph lives with his wife, Joyce, and their Labrador Retriever, Carmella in Johnston, Iowa.
