The Who, What, Where, and Why of Little Eric: (And the Uncles Who Dared!) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798258256164)

Discover the magic of community in this heartwarming tale of a boy and his giant-hearted uncles!

Under the warm South Georgia sun, young Cub Scout Eric is always on the go and ready for adventure. But the best magic Eric knows doesn't come from fairy tales or magic wands-it comes from his amazing Village of Uncles!

Little Eric's story is a joyful, rhythmic story about the power of a neighborhood stepping up to guide a child. Follow Eric as he gathers real-life "superpowers" from the men in his community. He learns the thrill of adventure from Uncle Earl, the power of a belly-laugh from Uncle Milton, the importance of keeping a promise from Uncle Thomas, and the beauty of trusting God from Deac Butler.

Surrounded by this village of love, Little Eric grows into a strong, confident man, ready to pass those very same lessons down to his own children.
