A Squirrel’s Dilemma Coloring Book

About the Book

Progress may be good, but progress will be an adjustment. When a change involves a change in living and uprooting of surroundings, it’s major. This book is about progress, “a squirrel’s dilemma”, and adjustment. About taking down beautiful trees full of pecan nuts in a park area. The park area provided food, shelter, play and sleep for the squirrels as well as safety. As trees were plowed down and taken away, squirrels scampered to other locations in areas of distance from their habitat. As days went on, only one tree stump was left shadowed by the barren land. A squirrel was sitting on that tree stump eating one remaining nut. It was then I thought of “A Squirrel’s Dilemma”. A general theme is that when something happens, decisions must be made and adjustments narrowed and the best choice made with comfort.
