Synopsis

The Unsung Heroes - There are many people whose life’s work made a big difference in the world, but who did not receive recognition equal to their achievements. How many of us have ever heard of the African-American inventor, Frederick McKinley Jones? Our lives would not be the same without him, but his name has been lost to history. Come along with two boys—one a precocious inventor and the other, his lovable brother—who go back in time to meet Mr. Jones, and see how his intellect, perseverance, and his desire to help people resulted in amazing inventions AND taught Pook and Boogee some important life lessons.   Also included are additional facts about Mr. Jones and Boogee's dictionary of words Pook uses and he pretends to understand until he looks them up. 

This is the first book in the series Adventures of Pook and Boogee. We know you’ll enjoy them and come away with a new-found appreciation for unsung heroes sharing good in the world!

 

About this title

About the Author:

Eric R. Anderson was born in Arizona and raised across three states: Ohio, Indiana, and Texas. Eric holds a master's degree in rhetoric and writing from Northern Arizona University. As a high school English teacher, he enjoys "passing on" his love for classical literature to his students. Eric believes edu- cation should challenge the mind and uplift the spirit. Pook and Boogee is an attempt to do both. His first foray into children's literature included classics like The Frog Who Cannot Jump and The Untidy Teacher. Both earned him high marks from his first and second grade teachers. Art has always been important to Eric. From an early age, he displayed his works on his parent's refrigerator door; some are now on display on the "family art gallery" wall in the game room. Eric began painting in his teen years and still finds joy in putting a brush to paper. A self-professed nerd, he spends time playing Dungeons and Dragons and board games with his family. He has also had quite an interesting athletic career: to our knowledge, he still holds the Grimmer Middle School record for the 200-meter dash.
