Introduction Before Show Notes

Papa Rick interviews his middle granddaughter Bailey and how they turned their High Jinks at the Canmore Folk Music Festival into their second title in The Adventures of Kaboose, the Rocky Mountain Bear book series.

Bailey and Papa Rick talk about how an event-filled week created the story.

They discuss how writing the story led to reading it out loud and realizing that some of the words were not great for the children reading this story. They edited and reread the story until it sounded right.

Episode Three: Adventures in the Heart of Children's Book Authors.

Papa Rick:

As I mentioned, our mission is to interview children's book authors, help them find an audience and market their books. I would be remiss if I didn't introduce you to my co-authors and grandchildren of this book series, the Adventures of Kaboose, the Rocky Mountain Bear.

The Adventures of Kaboose, the Rocky Mountain Bear Book series, is about the adventurous bear who lives in Big Head in the Rocky Mountains.

Kaboose loves her family, friends, and community. She embraces Mother Nature and all her beauty and encourages all children to enjoy the adventures and the great outdoors.

In this episode, we introduce you to Bailey, my middle granddaughter, the co-author and narrator of our next book, High Jinks, at the Big Head Folk Music Festival.

In the first part of this podcast, I describe in detail Bailey's Adventures at the Canmore Folk Music Festival, which is the inspiration behind our story, Bailey's character in our book, High Jinks at the Big Head Folk Music Festival.

I love Bailey's Insights. These are lessons for everyone's family.

We encourage you to embrace every special family moment because you never know if this will ever happen again.

Papa Rick:

Hi everyone. I'm pleased to introduce you to my granddaughter Bailey, in today's story behind the story. Hello, Bailey.

Bailey:

Hi.

Papa Rick:

The story behind the story tells you the events that led to the creation of this story.

The story behind the story is what happened to me, Bailey, her brother Leland, her cousin Kyra, and her friends Linda and Tom.

It was so much fun, and we needed to turn this story into something special that happened to us during the Folk Festival event.

In some stories, such as the Adventures of Kaboose the Rocky Mountain Bear, Bailey is one of the characters.

Bailey chose to be a beaver. Her character is Bailey the Beaver. And Bailey the Beaver is Kaboose's cousin.

Bailey is very adventurous, like Kaboose the Rocky Mountain Bear.

Bailey is one of our audio voices.

In telling the stories of the Adventures of Kaboose, the Rocky Mountain Bear Bailey is the voice behind High Jinks from the Big Head Folk Music Festival audiobook. We hope you enjoy listening to this audiobook.

The Big Head Folk Music Festival is based on the Canmore Folk Music Festival.
