Walking to the Creek is a story of grandchildren visiting their grandparents on the family farm. The young boys and the two farm dogs go on an all day adventure in the country. They watch the pigs, pick tomatoes, play in the river, search for arrowheads, and walk back as the sun is setting beyond the corn.
This tale was written by a local author, David Williams, from Sycamore, Illinois. I may be biased because I have an autographed copy of the book but I really did enjoy it. The story is written in a very descriptive, almost poetic manner. The colored pencil drawings are colorful and the pictures all spill over to the next page. It is a warm family tale that makes a great bedtime story.
