Brian's 5 year old son
"That was good Dad"

"The story and illustrations are so sweet, and funny...perfect for little shredders."

"As residents of Atlanta, my daughter is now obsessed with skiing. Day 1 I had to read it to her 5 or so times and she slept with the book and brought it into our bed the next morning for an encore! It’s a home run and I can’t reccomend it enough for the little ones. We can’t wait for the next edition!"

"This amazing Colorado dad's debut children’s book is a heartwarming tale with beautiful illustrations. I’ve fallen in love with Shreddy Bear."

"I used to snowboard any chance I got. For years we would pack up on the weekends and hit the slopes and had a blast. The Adventure Friends Ski Day brought back so many memories. If you have a little ones that love the snow then this is going to be a great book for them. The story was not only cute and well written, the art is fantastic."

"This book is full of adventure, friendship and lots of rhyming! As much as I love warm weather, after reading this book I definitely wanted to bundle up and go skiing!"

"My kids LOVE this book. It gets requested at bedtime every night, but the best part is that I like it to. We've all had those books that our kids want read to them...but they make us want to stab ourselves in the eye with a pencil. This is not one of those books!"
