Andrew Bond - Author
Andrew Bond is the author of two children’s books. The first, Chris Moose, is hilarious. You should read it. The second, A River Going Home, is not hilarious. But you should read it anyway. During the day, as a classroom teacher, he reads books to children and tries to keep them awake. In the evening, as a father of three, he reads books to his children and tries to put them to sleep. Sometimes he writes books for children. Other times he runs West Coast Forest School. Occasionally, he sleeps. He lives with his beautiful wife and family in Victoria, BC. It is usually quite nice there. You should visit.
Books by Andrew Bond
This is a story about connection, both to nature and to the self. Take it as an allegorical fable with a deep breath of knowledge or as a children’s story rooted in the natural sciences. It is as simple as a tree standing in the forest
Chris Moose is intended for younger children but contains humorous references that make it just as enjoyable a read for adults. Each page is hand-drawn with original watercolor paintings. Children enjoy the colorful illustrations and simple, repetitive and musical quality of the text. Adults and older children appreciate the funny, festive plays on words and references to popular Christmas music songs.
