Parenting is an adventure. Mommies and Daddies know that. Sometimes, it’s a little more adventurous than we would like it to be. The fun adventures are usually on vacations that families take together. Other adventures can involve trips to the emergency room. That’s never fun.
Adventures with my family can be one day or stretch out for more than that. On some days, we have a plan, but things take an unexpected turn.
If there is a vacation, we will plan that. If it’s a one-day adventure, it might come to us in the moment. Whatever it is, excitement and adventure seem to be around the corner from us.
Claire the German Shepherd
If you haven’t met Claire the German Shepherd, allow me to introduce you to her. Claire is the main character of “Adventures of German Shepherd and Egret” by Claire Kroft. Our German Shepherd is looking for new adventures and maybe someone to accompany her on the adventures. An owl suggests she talks to the Egret. The Egret, Adam, flies in and introduces himself to Claire. Together, Adam and Claire go to the Summit of Adventures. There are many animals at the Summit of Adventures. Each of them is working on a new experiment that will improve life for everyone around the world.
Learning through Adventures
After chatting with the animals, Adam and Claire spend the next day talking to individual animals. The German Shepherd and Egret learn about the different experiments, including a virtual reality tour with a bear. After that was a podcast where animals discuss their goals for the experiments they are perfecting.
My family’s adventures don’t revolve around inventing or designing. Our time on the road is spent checking out locations and landmarks we haven’t seen before. Trying to improve ourselves and our home and community is usually done when we are home.
Learning new things and putting new techniques into practice can be an adventure in itself. That is the point of Claire’s book, and it’s a great point. Throughout the book, Claire and Adam meet new friends and are introduced to new ideas and projects that can improve the world. While these ideas are imaginary, they can provide a launch point for children who want to make their community a better place.
Improving the World However You can
My family and I do what we can to make things around us better. You may do the same. If you’re teaching the children how to make their corner of the world a better place, they would enjoy reading “Adventures of German Shepherd and Egret.” Claire’s book could unlock some ideas that are waiting to be released from their brains and put into action by them and their friends.
Claire is not only an author. She is also the founder of Stealth, a software development company dedicated to helping companies grow their clientele in an affordable way. In addition to Stealth, she also runs Claire-ified. Claire-ified offers Chief of Staff operations for startup founders.
In her book, Claire takes her expertise and uses it to pen the story of Claire and Adam, who explore the deep tech facets of the world together. This is not Claire’s first writing attempt. She has also been published in NATE Magazine.
