The Grumble-Gator Has Gone Worldwide
Every story starts small. Mine started at a pond.
When I first wrote about Barnaby and Toby, I pictured one little raft floating on Sunny-Stream Pond. I never pictured it floating around the world. But that is exactly what has happened, and I still can hardly believe it.
The Grumble-Gator’s Greatest Raft is now available in stores and bookshops across the globe. Readers in the United States, Canada, Australia, Italy, Spain, Belgium, and Korea can find it close to home. It comes in paperback, in hardcover, and as an eBook you can read anywhere. From your local Amazon to independent shops like Books-A-Million, Kobo, and lovely little bookstores overseas, the raft has found a lot of new shores.
Here is the part I am most excited about. I built one simple page to hold all of it. You just tell it where you are, and it points you to the nearest place to get your copy. No hunting around. No wrong-country links. Just pick your country and go.
And if your country is not on the list yet? You can leave your email right there on the page, and I will let you know the very moment the book arrives near you. So no reader gets left out.
I want to say thank you. This book is about kindness, and about choosing to be a friend even when it is hard. To see it reach families in so many countries, in so many languages of hello, means more than I can put into words. You helped a small pond story swim a very long way.
So wherever you are in the world, there is now a place for you on the raft.
Three easy ways to get your copy
First, use the where to buy page. Pick your country and it will show you the stores that carry the book near you.
Second, ask your local library. Libraries love requests from readers. Just give them the title and my name, and they can order it for everyone in your town to enjoy.
Third, ask your favorite bookshop. Any bookstore can order the book for you, even if it is not on the shelf yet.
Reading it with your family
However you get your copy, I hope it becomes a story you read more than once. To help with that, I made a free Family Reading Guide with read-aloud tips and questions to ask. And if your little one loves to color, there are free coloring pages and activities waiting at Sunny-Stream Pond too. No sign-up needed.
