Meet Local Author Craig Vroom at Barn Owl Books
What do you get when you combine five different Idaho landscapes, resident animals, six Idaho artists, and a local author who loves to tell adventure stories?
Animal Tales from the Heart of Idaho.
Written by McCall author Craig Vroom in partnership with PLT, the children’s book takes readers to five PLT-conserved properties and introduces them to the animals that live there. Each story has its own illustrator, and Val the Heart makes an appearance along the way with fun facts about the animals and the places they call home.
It’s a book that’s meant to be read with kids, in classrooms, or wherever you happen to have a young animal-and-outdoors enthusiast nearby. And, hopefully, it gets a few readers curious about the places they’re exploring around West Central Idaho.
Stop By and Meet Craig
On Saturday, August 29, Craig will be at The Barn Owl Books & Gifts from 1–3 PM to sign copies of the book and meet readers.
Craig has written several adventure books for young readers, including Discovering Sharlie, The Tall Trees, The River of No Return, and The Great Salmon River Mystery. He was also named Idaho’s Top Children’s Book Author in 2015.
