Born in Othello Washington, moved to Utah to attend Brigham Young University. Found my wife in Utah, and have been there ever since. We have a wonderful family. Reading was important to us, and I cherish the hours that I read with my children. We would bring home 25 to 40 books every three week from the library, and I would be amazed at how many we would get through. We thought that it would be fun to create a children's book.

We started our children's eBook series as a family project. We have two children leaving to serve missions, so we will be a bit shorthanded for the next books. We are very proud and excited about our first book The Snow Birthday (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BWAP6SS), and are currently working on the second.

The Snow Birthday

What an absolute treat to be exposed to some good old-fashioned family values in this delightful children's book. It demonstrates the collaborative efforts of the entire Dean family...and a big family it is...certainly by today's standards. Mom Brenda, dad Dean, son Nathan as well the other four children in the family have done an excellent job of penning a children's book which clearly focuses on quality fun family time.

The appreciation for fun in the snow...family time revolving around simply playing and staying together...appreciation for grandparents and their visits, all display the value of life's everyday pleasures and time well spent. "The Snow Birthday" further manifests the ability to enjoy this winter season of the year and glean the joyful activities surrounding this snowy and cold climate. Not to be deterred by the weather, the birthday girl has the pleasure of making homemade invitations for her friends. She invites them to an action packed birthday party with sledding and a special surprise birthday cake in the shape of a snowman baked by mom. The presents are secondary while just enjoying the birthday celebration with family and friends takes precedent. Such wonderful values for a family to enjoy and fond memories to be stored away and emulated at another time down the road. The colorful illustrations are wonderful too. Good stuff...I can't wait to share this book with my grandchildren!

5.0 out of 5 stars Delightful!

What can I say about this book except delightful.

I love the illustrations, and the story line was great for kiddies.

My Grandson only 3 1/2, could relate to this book when I read it to him and showed him the illustrations. (He just loves books!)

He was sad when the snow came and Grandma and Grandpa couldn't come for the birthday due to the snow, laughed when snowflakes were being caught on the tongue, and wanted it to snow so he could play in the snow.

The High fived me when Grandma and Grandpa eventually made it but after the party.

Highs and lows throughout the book, which is good as children can relate.

I highly recommend this book and wish the authors only the best.

4.0 out of 5 stars Charming story, engaging illustrations
Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2013

This is the kind of book that makes me smile. It's charming. It's a visit to a happy time in a happy family, and I think it's a story many children will enjoy.

If you're expecting a highly-polished story with sophisticated illustrations, this isn't that book. It's not pretentious, it's honest. There's no drama, and the story is a breath of fresh air in a complex world. If you long for the "good old days," you'll love this book.

I like this book for many reasons.

- I've known people with winter birthdays close to Christmas. Too often, those birthdays get lost in holiday busyness. So, this book is a nice reminder that every birthday is important. It's also a reminder that the simple things in life can be the most important.

- Because this book is simply illustrated, and tells a very normal (but happy) story, it might encourage other families -- including those with young children -- to create a book as a family activity.

- Don't let the simple illustrations fool you. Little ones will love to make up their own stories about the pictures. There's a lot to work with in several illustrations, and many of the pictures could spark conversations, all by themselves.

This is a book to read to children. The sentences are complex. Most early readers aren't ready for such long sentences. But, once the child has heard the story a couple of times, he (or she) will tell it in his (or her) own words, anyway.

It's not a glitzy, intimidating book. If my children were still little, I'd read this book to them. Then, I'd hand them paper and markers, and suggest that they could write their own books. Using this book as a model, I think they'd be eager to become authors, themselves.

I like that!

What a fun family tale and winter adventure. The story is descriptive and great to read around the holidays. I like the inclusion of an extended family which reminded me of my own family. Grab some hot chocolate and gather around for a storytime that all will love!

Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2013

The greatest gift you can give to your child is your love and the tradition of family values. What this means is that while they are growing up they will always have the fond memories to cherish the rest of their lives and to ultimately share with their own family. The delight of The Snow Birthday is the treasure of family getting together to celebrate a girl's birthday, that include her parents, grandparents and friends. Whether they are playing board games, sipping hot coco in a family cottage or sledding down a hill in an outdoor winter wonderland The Snow Birthday brings it all together with vivid images and a delightful story adorned with heart, that will make your spirit soar and long for the memories of yesteryear when being a child was a fond memory.

This is a nice little story about the magic of snow. It's a family story about the joys of looking forward to the snow fall and then having fun playing in the winter wonderland. There are also colourful pictures that accompany the story.
