The Bushytails - A Political Family of Squirrels

The Bushytails follows the adventures of a family of squirrels as they seek to form an organized community in "Kennebushport", Maine to protect its wildlife citizens. Endorsed by former first lady Barbara Bush herself, this tale is loosely based upon the presidency of her husband, George H.W. Bush. Children will learn about the election process and how a society protects and provides for its members. Author Heather Bruhl has crafted a lively and entertaining story appropriate for children ages 7-10 when reading themselves or even younger when read by an adult.

Kennebunkport artist, Wendy Webster Goode, has provided beautiful watercolor illustrations that bring this inspirational story to life.
