James and his brother Luke created Smile Outside Children’s books. As avid outdoorsman, hunters and conservationists themselves, they started a business to Educate, Engage and teach children about the importance of Conservation. Their books provide a link to introduce kids to wildlife, in a realistic approach, different from animated characters in most other children’s books.
Even If you don’t have kids, you no doubt know a friend’s kids or have nieces and nephews who would love and benefit from these books. We also talk bird dogs, of course, and about the Chachalaca. And because this company is amazing, they’re offering all the Bird Dog Babe podcast listeners a promo code for 10% so be sure to listen to the end!
