Why Read It
This one's for every little one who ever stared at the mountains and wondered what was on the other side. June Bug's got more grit than most grown-ups I know, and she'll remind your kids that courage isn't about being fearless — it's about going anyway.
About the Book
The heartwarming tale of June Bug, a spirited young mule from the hills of Eastern Kentucky. When woodsman Jack Longworth sets out on a daring journey to the Grand Canyon, June Bug insists on going along — not as a passenger, but as a partner.
A celebration of family, courage, and the unbreakable ties that lead us home again. Perfect for young readers and anyone who loves a good Appalachian adventure.
