The Escape

By Gregg B. Jackson

Tidal waves are crashing higher and higher up the hill. A growing group of animals bands together in a desperate run from the waves. They bicker, quarrel, and insult each other, but each time they reach an impasse that could doom them, one animal uses his or her natural talents to help the others across to higher ground. The animals finally reach the mountaintop. Will that be high enough?
The story is intended for children ages 4-8 and has 17 illustrations.

Gregg B. Jackson

Gregg B. Jackson is a retired university professor. He gets his ideas for stories from “anywhere, everywhere, and somewhere else.” Aimed at 4- to 7-year-olds, the stories are mostly about characters who are confronted by intimidating challenges and eventually rely on their brains and personal resolve to triumph. Jackson intends not only to engage and entertain but to provoke thought and encourage character in his young audience. A website at http://www.CoolHeadStories.com offers questions for children’s reflection, comments submitted by readers, and a means of contacting the author. Illustrated children’s stories by Gregg B.
