Kurt W BeckerHey, I'm Kurt. I grew up around big cities like Chicago and St. Louis. As a kid, I was into sports and exploring nature on foot or bike. As an adult, I feel more at peace outside near water and bird watching. After I had kids, nighttime became my cretive time where I got to spin stories like this book, Fred & Mavis.My stories contain little teachable moments my friends and family have not seemed to grow tired of. I hope they never do because I love making stuff up! I've found it's a great place for me to put my creative energy. My love for animals and nature has always been strong and is represented in the stories I write. If you'd like to know more about me, I'm online @4kurtbecker and 4kurtbecker.com. Read More Read Less
