J. Traveler Pelton was born in West Virginia in the last century. She lives on a small farm with her husband, 7 alpaca, chickens, 5 Pomeranians, 14 canaries and tolerates T-Bears Siamese cats and irascible parrot Giz. She loves to find out what all her friends are studying. She is the mother of six adults, a grandmother of eight, a great-grandma of 1, a Clinically Licensed Independent Social worker, a retired adjunct professor of social work at her local university and an avid reader. She studies science, technology, Biblical studies, and human behavior. She is quick to draw parallels between different fields of thought and weave the ideas into a cohesive ideology that is at once practical, usable, and thoughtful. Her books are the result of blending her life experiences with bureaucracy, studying science and nature, counseling, and faith. She greatly enjoys the intersection of fantasy and possibility and hopes you enjoy it as well. We will see you on the other side of the imagination tree.

Her co-author of the Clan Falconer fantasy series is her grandson T-Bear. T Bear Pelton is a self-proclaimed gamer, a Christian active in his home church, a Native American, a storyteller, and a novice blacksmith. He lives with his grandparents, his Amazon parrot, and four Siamese on a small alpaca farm while working full time and dreaming of times when magic still existed. Enjoy this fantasy with him and for just a little while, suspend daily life for a dream of dragons and wizards, beautiful ladies and knights, magic and faith. Travel then with us to another time, another place, and another dimension. Come to the future, after the Great War, when tech and magic combine with faith and fear.

Their farm, Springhaven Croft, is home to alpacas, dogs, Siamese cats, canaries, an eclectic group of chickens and an irascible Amazon Parrot named Gizmo. Traveler's webpage is travelerpelton.com; she also has a FB page called Traveler Pelton. Come visit real soon! She loves your reviews and to hear from her fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE SHORT STORIES IN THIS BOOK ARE AKIN TO THE PARABLES TOLD BY THE LORD
Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2021
Verified Purchase
Even though my dear OH and I have never been blessed with having any children, I can still recognize that this book will fulfill what parents need to do with/for their children. Parents in PROVERBS 22:6 [NLT] to:

"Direct your children onto the right path, and when they are older, they will not leave it."

As a Christian adult reviewing this book, I relished seeing that the authors of each short story have skillfully intertwined them with our Christian faith, just like Jesus telling His parables to teach His desired lessons. The stories contained in the pages of this book communicate to its young readers a myriad of important life lessons, especially those involving the significances of what might happen if they do something that is not right.

A child reading this book will enjoy reading these short stories for the stories themselves and will not come to realize that their young minds are being subliminally taught any important life lesson at that time.

For wanting to provide her young readers with the knowledge of important life lessons, I've given Ms. Pelton the 5 STARS she's garnered from this voracious reviewer of Christian books.

5.0 out of 5 stars A heartfelt, thought-provoking and faithful read...
Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2021
I received a free copy of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review. All opinions are my own.

This was a well-written, relatable, and engaging story for parents and children alike. The authors do a remarkable job of blending memoir-style nonfiction writing with the heart and educational flair of any good parable or fairytale. The thing that makes this children’s book that families can enjoy so unique is the balance the author found between sharing life lessons from their own shared experiences and the teachings that their faith has shown them over the years.

Everything that any child could hope to learn in life can be found through these experiences and stories, from communication and its importance to relationships, to consider how our actions will affect others and the consequences those actions will bring. The imagery and emotion that the author brought out in this writing really allowed the reader to feel connected to the author’s experiences, and to visualize the events as they were happening in this amazing read.

A heartfelt, thought-provoking and faithful read, author J. Traveler Pelton’s “Kids Grew In My Garden: Vol 1” is a must-read book for any families who hold religion as a component of their daily lives and are looking for family-friendly reads to help teach valuable lessons to their children. A refreshingly new take on family-driven books, readers will be engaged deeply with this author’s stories.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Collection
Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2021

I bought “Kid's Grew in My Garden: Volume 1” to read to my niece, and turned out to be a great experience for both of us. The book is a top-notch collection of stories, which makes it a good company for several nights as you cover a few sections per day. I loved how the book was written in a simple language that my niece could understand with ease. The plot was similarly remarkable, and the flow kept the narrative lively and engaging. Looking forward to volume 2!
