About this ebook
Meadow is the same as her friends but different. She tries hard to fit in and to listen to everything she's told. Eagles are dangerous! Aren't they?
This story is as much about great fathers as it is about peer pressure and bullying.
Raised by my father (and a village of extended family members, fabulous teachers and amazing role models) I wanted to pay homage to the men out there that take it one day at a time and do all they can to be the wise guiding force in the lives of their children.
We never say it enough even though we should.
We love you dad and thank you!
