Children’s Picture Books 7+

Timmy’s father serves in the military and has been called to serve in a war. It was very difficult to say goodbye to him, but a tale told by his mother helped him to better understand what his father was called to do.

The sequel to “Timmy and the Storm,” is a journey with Timmy and his mother through the year spent separated from his father.

Timmy and his mother share many wonderful moments in the story. Timmy finds comfort and support through activities with his classmates, friends, and his mother.

As Timmy and his mother watch the changing of the seasons and the months slowly pass by, they continue to wait patiently for the day to be together with his father again.


Jeff Yosick grew up in the small town of New Washington, Ohio. He began writing poetry while in high school and early adulthood before being inspired to write children’s stories.

Currently Jeff has four picture books released; Timmy and the Storm, Madison’s Special Dolly and a second edition of Running the Race will be available in the fall of 2008.

Jeff believes that most of life’s greatest spiritual and everyday life lessons can be found between the covers of a book. It is his goal to write stories that will inspire, offer hope, and a sense of direction that will make a difference for the children of this generation and for those to follow.

Jeff currently resides in Blacklick, Ohio, with his wife, daughter and two sons.
