Synopsis

Patti was a young pelican boy. He was an only child and lived with his father, Marlon, on the bank of a salt water marsh near San Francisco, California. Some say Patti lived an average life. However, what people do not know about pelicans like Patti is that they value family, arrange playdates with friends, and learn about life a lot like human children do. There was a magic about Patti that was all his own. And he was very curious. Sometimes his curiosity even got him into trouble! Patti loved to do many things. He loved to ride his bicycle, read books, bake cookies, and go to school. But most of all, Patti enjoyed a good journey. This story is about one of Patti's many amazing adventures, one that taught him so many valuable things about living in this world. "With his first children's book, Patrick Giambalvo has created a combination adventure and inspiration story for young people. A beautifully illustrated and beautiful read for young readers (about ages 7 to 10) as well as for adults who read to them including younger children (about ages 4 to 6). But readers of all ages will love this story of curiosity, challenges, and the journeys in our lives. I certainly do." -- Dr. Angela Browne-Miller, Author, Raising Thinking Children and Teens
