Follow on Google News | Wisconsin Author to Donate Books to 100 Local SchoolsKerri J. Busteed, the local author of two children’s books, will donate 200 e-books to schools.
It is estimated that one out of three families has no father figure in the home. The average child spends 4-1/2 hours a day in front of screens, often alone with a video game, computer, or television as the only source of entertainment. Parents need to find ways to get good quality role models for their children, get them away from the screens, and back into the great outdoors and nature. Kerri Busteed, author of Will’s First Hunt and Will’s Bow Hunting Adventure, is donating 200 copies of her e-books to schools with the help of Mathews Inc. Her books are written in a story format for enjoyable reading. While the author believes these books will get kids excited about learning new outdoor sports, no hunter learns the sport alone. Hunting requires children talk to a trusted adult to mentor them and also enrollment in hunters’ safety classes. The author has two children of her own and has enjoyed watching them as they have started hunting. She attended hunters’ safety with them so they could learn how to safely handle firearms, and spent time exploring the woods and looking for signs of animals. For her and her children, husband Pat Busteed became their mentor and role model. Kerri feels Pat has taught them all to appreciate their time outdoors, learning new skills, and spending quality time together. Kerri, along with sponsor Mathews, Inc., hope to get elementary students excited about learning new outdoor sports through the donation of the author’s two books. All schools are eligible to receive these books while supplies last. Please send an e-mail to FreeKidsBooks@ Visit www.kerribusteed.com or Teachingbooks.net to learn more about Kerri and her books. If your company would like to help donate more books to schools or if your school would like Kerri to come for an author visit, please contact her at FreeKidsBooks@ In her novel, Will’s First Hunt, a boy tries to get through a tragedy in his young life, one child turns to the only thing he really has left.
