THE GOLFO CHRONICLES
-
Adapted from bedtime stories and characters I created for my own sons when they were small, an exploration of love, acceptance, family, and appreciation of others among two delightful brothers.
Featuring fun insect facts, the story unfolds in ways sometimes amusing, sometimes hair-raising, but entertaining and with the wisdom and caring of mom and dad grasshopper. The young readers (ages 2 to 7) are invited to participate and learn about themselves and about making friends with others.
*Golfo means Beloved in middle Greek; while Gotzo short for Gotzon, means Angel in Euskara (Basque).
