The Grods' Verrry Long Road Trip
by
Gord Yakimow
Many families have had at least one verrry long road trip as part of their family history. The Grods, in their desire to escape the cold winter weather at their cabin in the Far-off Territory of the North, take a long road trip to the exciting UltraSuper KiddyKarnival. Come and join them on their journey, where they meet a host of interesting and quirky characters. Any connection between characters in this story and the author’s own family is totally intentional. A book for all generations: This story will appeal to Baby Boomers with grandchildren, and to Millennials with children, in that the grandparents and parents will be reading the book to (or with) their little ones. And the little ones will certainly want to join in! The sessions are meant to be interactive: the grandparents and parents reading and explaining, the youngsters inquiring. And everyone enjoying!
The author, Gord Yakimow, is a retired teacher who lives (with his wife) in the Fraser Valley of British Columbia, about 100 km east of Vancouver. [They spent 18 years in the Yukon Territory.] Together, they raised three children - a daughter and two sons. They have two grandchildren. Gord has had many articles published in magazines and newspapers - mostly about travel or wilderness adventure. This is his second GrodsBook. John Yakimow, Gord's son, is the Grods' artistic advisor. John does design artwork for everything from video games to board games to 3D printing, and now children's books. It was John who first conceptualized the Grod characters. He lives in Vancouver. The Grods’ illustrator, Paul Schultz, is an artist/writer who, together with his wife, runs an independent art studio producing many wonderful, playful pieces of artwork. A graduate of Sheridan Tech in Oakville, Paul has been illustrating books and comics for the past twenty years. Their home is in Burlington, Ontario. They have one daughter.
