My Big Cousin Mike

Did you ever have an iconic big brother, big sister, older cousin, or neighbourhood hero that everyone admired and wanted to be around? Someone who shielded you from bullies, wild animals, or even your own self-doubt? Someone who bolstered your confidence and made you feel like you belonged? If so, then you had your very own Big Cousin Mike. This series is a tribute to those remarkable individuals. It’s a heartfelt thank you for including us in your adventures, sporting trials, and games. Thank you for believing in us when we doubted ourselves and our abilities. Thank you for standing up for us against bullies, animals, and adults who may not have understood the right way to discipline.

These unsung heroes have helped many of us navigate the turbulent waters of childhood and adolescence. My Big Cousin Mike offers a nostalgic chance to reminisce about those times in our lives when we either had our own Mike or were the Mike to someone else. If you know someone who was there for you in the ways described, either in your youth or even now, take a moment to remember, acknowledge, and appreciate them. And if you were, or still are, that unsung hero, this series honors you. You are personally thanked here, and know that this series is in honor of you.

Mr. Higgins to the Rescue

About Mr. Higgins:

In 2014, the authors David Preece and Jim Webber adopted a black Scottish terrier who was a shy, nervous, and somewhat suspicious mid-life rescue dog. “Mr. Higgins” (the fitting name he came to us with) gradually emerged from his shell and enjoyed his new life in his forever home. Still, on guard with most strangers, Mr. Higgins learned to return love while protecting his home and keeping his dads to their daily routines. Not a fan of pats on the head, “Higgins” prefers a light touch on his sides and burrowing into a safe space. He loves walks, other dogs, treats, and – as a born outfielder – plays fetch.

Mr. Higgins Takes a Stand

A loving family finally adopts Mr. Higgins. However, he still doubts his self-worth and lacks confidence in himself. But then, one day, Mr. Higgins has had enough and boldly rescues a friend from a pack of canine bullies. Mr. Higgins Takes a Stand deals with bullying, caring for others, and gaining self-confidence.

Mommy…What is Heaven?

This book was inspired by my beautiful daughter upon my grandfather’s passing. At the time, she was only three years old, and she couldn’t understand why mommy was so sad, and I couldn’t stop crying. She kept trying to soothe my pain, and rubbing my hair saying, ‘Don’t cry mommy, you can see him again.’ I knew I had to find a way to explain death to her, without it being too overwhelming for a child that young.

I hope this helps other moms and dads who go through the same thing, trying to explain death to a child… too young to understand. May time help heal your broken hearts, and you feel the love of your relatives’ blowing kisses through the wind from Heaven.
