Three Nuggets of Wisdom from Winnie-the-Pooh

Lane Walker Inspires & Impacts Kids
Kids from 8 to 14 love these books!
Lane Walker and his wife are devoted parents of four children. Lane has educated kids for many years, coached, and currently holds the title of principal. He KNOWS kids.
A student, frustrated with the choices in the library, once told Lane that he’d read a book about hunting, adventure, or fishing if he could find one. The seed was planted. Lane took a turn from the publication writing he’d been doing and began writing outdoor adventure chapter books. One led to another, and another. Kids request more all the time.
Even now he’s in the middle of a third series, which will feature stories with different sports. The first two books in the new series, Local Legends, will be out in mid-June, 2022. Look for them then.
