Steggy

Can a story be true if written by a papier mache Stegosaurus? Marty Cole, author of "Steggy" shows us that it can. Through Steggy's eyes we are shown 50 years of rich history lived in a cherished family home. We see small town streets beneath a canopy of elms, secret places where wild asparagus grows, fireflies twinkling on dark lawns, and old familiar storybooks. This nostalgic reminiscence speaks of the universal themes of neighborhood, childhood, summer evenings, and life's transitions. One of those transitions comes when the family has to empty and sell that beloved brick house. Treasures are sold, gifted, and moved to new places but what will became of Steggy, their loyal, if silent, companion? "Steggy" is not a children's book although children can easily relate to the story. It is a loving tribute to family, to connections, and to values that tie families together.
