EXCERPT FOUR:
From Wesley Raccoon: Captain John’s Social – Book Two:
Wesley loves to spend time with his friends at Captain John’s Social.
Tonight, he introduces his best friend to the Wise Owl of Nine Streets; Riley Fox, who lives in Dam Square; Leia and Dexter, the alley cat twins; and, of course, LisaLou, the Hare of Vondelpark, who they sang songs with earlier that afternoon.
The Captain tells stories and listens carefully to his friends as they share their week’s adventures.
“How wonderful it is to have friendship of all kinds in our life,” says Wesley to the Captain. Wesley and his friends are thankful for knowing so many different people and spending time with them every week at Captain John’s Social.
As Wesley thinks about his friends and their wonderful times together, he knows that each person is truly unique, and in their own special way, brings kindness to Wesley’s circle of friends.

GUEST POST:
Everyone loves a hero! Tell us all about this genuine character and the inspiration behind their development.
Wesley is an adorable shy little raccoon who is learning how to develop new friendships in life. Meeting new people is not always as easy as it sounds and finding true friendship can be even harder. Each character in Wesley’s circle of friends is diverse and inclusive. His friends are accepting, loving and supportive with each other demonstrating what really matters is who you are, the grit within, and the gusto that makes you, you !
As for character development of Wesley Raccoon, well, that was inspired by my grandson who like most 3 year olds is a little shy mixed with a lot of adventure.
The Old Man was inspired by my father who could make friends in a heartbeat, people gravitated towards him. Although Wesley and my dad missed meeting each other in this lifetime by a mere 5 months, the book series is a way to bring them together and provide a place where the love of a great grandfather interacts with the curiosity and learning of great grandson.
