Award-Winning Author Earl Vincent de Berge Releases Enchanting Young Adult Fantasy Book 'Big Ears Jack and Friends'

Award-winning author Earl Vincent de Berge has released 'Big Ears Jack and Friends,' a new young adult fantasy book that transports readers to the vibrant ecosystem of the Baja California peninsula. The book features 15 short stories centered around Big Ears Jack, a magical jackrabbit who uses his extraordinary abilities to help his desert companions.

The collection introduces readers to a rich cast of characters including mischievous coyote brothers, racing dragonflies, a kangaroo rat chorus, and various desert inhabitants. Each story weaves together whimsical adventures that showcase the unique wildlife and environment of one of the world's narrowest peninsulas.

A recent review by AWA highlighted the book's exceptional world-building, noting how de Berge seamlessly integrates the flora and fauna of Baja California into the narrative. The stories explore themes of community, creativity, and environmental respect, offering young readers an engaging learning experience about desert ecosystems.

By anthropomorphizing desert animals and plants, de Berge creates an immersive storytelling experience that educates while entertaining. The book's charming illustrations complement the narrative, making complex ecological concepts accessible to young readers.

This latest work follows de Berge's previous publications, including a memoir and several poetry collections, further establishing his versatility as a writer who consistently explores themes of nature, human experience, and environmental awareness.
