“Family Tails: My Life with Boys, Dogs, and Other Amazing Critters” is a heartwarming, inspirational memoir that will appeal to anyone who appreciates family, all manner of animals, and nature.
Deb and Lou Elliott grew their family over the years on three acres of forested land in the charming town of Helena, Alabama. Their household included a beloved menagerie of domestic and wild creatures, including dogs, a cat, reptiles, aquarium dwellers, and rodents-each one unique and having a distinct personality. In fact, Family Tails may contain the only story in the world about a Jamaican shrimp!
Beautifully illustrated by noted illustrator Ron Adair, Family Tails invites the reader into the lives of the Elliotts as they experience the gifts of daily life and learn how both domestic and wild animals can educate and amaze us, offer us companionship, and bring much laughter and sometimes heartache into our homes.
