A Walk in the Wind

The story-telling is in the style of classics like the Adventures of Peter Rabbit, The Wind in the Willows or Winnie the Pooh in which animal characters have normal yet imaginative adventures, providing a vehicle for learning about community, compassion and collaboration. The elements used to craft the stories are:

normal, every-day activities into which is woven a challenge or a difficult situation.
talking animal characters engaged with human characters, involved in adventures.
lessons relating to teamwork, safety, helping others and kindness.

 "These stories are a legacy to my grandchildren. I will not always be around to guide them as they grow older, so in a way, they provide the advice that I would have given them throughout their lives.” — Danielle Michaud Aubrey
