This morning’s podcast featured James Da Silva, author of The Great Adventures of Little Feet, a delightful children’s book series about adventure and unity. James shared the inspiration behind his stories, which he began crafting during a challenging time in his life. Drawing from his experiences as a volunteer firefighter and his observations of bugs during fires, he created a main character, Little Feet, who leads other bugs through exciting adventures while teaching valuable life lessons.
The first book in the 12-part series is available on Amazon, Kindle, and eBook formats. James also revealed plans to record an audiobook version and shared his ongoing work on the second book. He emphasized the importance of vibrant, full-color illustrations, which were brought to life by illustrator Sasha Baron Beyer.
Looking ahead, James celebrates the upcoming opening of “Bonnie’s Books and Treasures” on May 17th, a bookstore dedicated to supporting local authors. Fans can visit the store to get autographed copies of his books, among others.
Themes of hope, collaboration, and recognizing the goodness in people were central to the conversation. James’s stories, rich with moral lessons and charming characters, aim to inspire children and adults alike while leaving a meaningful legacy for future generations.
