Deer, owls, squirrels and snakes are some of the creatures that live on our farm. They are our neighbours, but what is at stake? They bring beauty and intrigue, but will they bring harm?
Lopez author Jan Crossen recently published Deer Haven Farm, wild animals were here first, a book for children aged 6 to 9 curious about the incredible wild animals of the Pacific Northwest. This book entertains while teaching fascinating information about killer whales, black-tailed deer, barred owls, gray squirrels and garter snakes. Lopez’s children will recognize island life with the references to the village, the ferry and trips to the mainland.
“I wrote this book to share the rich experience of living in the Pacific Northwest,” Crossen said. I want kids to know about the amazing wildlife here and realize that these creatures lived here long before we did. Animals behave according to their nature, and it is up to humans to adapt to live safely in their environment. I believe we need to create a safe habitat where all beings can thrive and live peacefully together.
Deer Haven Farm, wild animals were here first is the seventh book in the Farm Adventures series. “According to the television show America’s Heartland, most children today are 3 or 4 generations away from growing up on a farm. I want kids to learn a bit more about farm animals and get a taste of country life and what they miss,” Crossen added. Jan’s books are available from her and in eBook and print on Amazon.
