The Adventures of Jake the Snake

In The Adventures of Jake the Snake, the friendly serpent hopes to celebrate his father’s birthday, but first he needs to pick up the cake, and he’ll need his friends’ help because the bakery is deep in the forest.

A charming rhyme book that should remind readers about inclusion, the value of friendship, and how to navigate the unexpected.

Excerpt

Jake the snake and Matt the rat
Went out one day for a walk and a chat.
They headed for the forest deep
When they saw their friend, Philippe the sheep.

He was waiting for a bus, so they asked,
“Would you like to walk with us?”
“Sure,” he said, then Philippe the sheep
Walked with his friends to the forest deep.
