PHOENIX, AZ (November 23, 2010) - What happens when a shy girl brings together a seagull who’s afraid to fly, a mysterious rabbit, and a squirrel loaded with more energy than brains?
The answer is a journey of friendship and faith rivaling big-budget cartoon movies. Tristan's Travels, by Karl Bjorn Erickson, is a Catholic children's book that will rivet young minds to the pages of this "delightful depiction of anthropomorphous beasts," according to Joseph Pearce.
A timid seagull frightened of nearly everything around him -- and afraid to fly -- travels on a rescue mission with a detective rabbit and a dimwitted squirrel. Just before the climax of the story, they encounter a statue of Saint Francis of Assisi and ponder his words of wisdom. Children will be enthralled as they follow Tristan the seagull in his harrowing rescue.
The newest release from Rafka Press, Tristan's Travels is a "beautifully illustrated, lovingly written fable," according to Sean Astin, actor in major Hollywood movies. Father Timothy Mockaitis said the book is an "allegory on friendship and faith" and "a delightful tale."
