Squirrels Don't Need Umbrellas!

By Jill A Whetter and David Harston

Squirrels Don’t Need Umbrellas! is a fresh, fun, and uniquely educational book for children written from a child’s perspective. Children will learn the days of the week as the delightful little boy in this story thinks he would rather be a polar bear, a squirrel, an elephant, an owl, a box turtle, and even a cheetah - until he realizes he’s content to be his awesome self. The repetition and sense of familiarity incorporated into this book will keep children entertained, but the fun facts they will learn about familiar animals will also be sure to amaze them. Additionally, young listeners and readers will gain an understanding of the importance of a loving and respectful relationship between a little boy and his mother. Finally, the colorful and whimsical illustrations will keep adults and children alike turning the pages.

Jill A Whetter

About the Author: Jill Whetter stole the idea for her first children’s book from her oldest grandson, Parker. After a career of more than twenty-five years as a court reporter capturing wild witness stories, Jill is ready to tell imaginative stories of her own—or more accurately, to bring life to her endless conversations with her six grandchildren. She loves to travel, cook, and garden with David, her husband of more than forty years, who would accurately describe her as an avid reader—mostly in the middle of the night. About the Illustrator: David Harston was doodling instead of paying attention when the bus to adulthood came by, so he missed it. Today, David is a sixty-year-old kid with a passion for art; he has been professionally illustrating for more than thirty years. David appreciates the simple things in life, and he feels blessed to have the ability to express his thoughts through his illustrations.
