More from Allen

Sometimes, a story just HAS to be told.  When I first wrote the book that became Light of Mine, book 1 of the Towers of Light series, there was a scene in which the main character, Lauren, and her newly found kitten are trying to milk the cow.  It was a sweet moment in a chaotic story, and I had fun writing it as an homage to my kitten squeaker, who made trying to work around home very challenging at times.  However, my editor was pretty clear that as cute as the story was, Meow Meow’s interlude with the milk cow Clarabelle just didn’t fit the story’s action.  So, unfortunately, that scene found its way to the cutting room floor.

After a few years, I started having mothers of children who loved the Towers of Light Series ask the same question over and over….”But what about my littles?”  Do you have a story for me to read to my younger children?  After thinking about it, I realized Meow Meow’s adventure might be a perfect read-aloud.  So I reached out to a fellow Realm Maker, Pam Halter, who has a really fun series of books with Willougby the Dragon, to see if she could help me turn my 2500-word novel scene into an 800-word picture book…and she did a fantastic job! So now we have Meow Meow Milks the Cow.

Another fun fact is that the character Ethan in this book is all grown up now and engaged to be married to Reace Erbe, and this is her first illustrated work in print.  So we all hope you enjoy this Tower of Light read to me.

My Review

I found Meow Meow Milks the Cow: A Towers of Light Read to Me to be a cute picture book by Allen Brokken. I enjoyed the lesson that was taught within the pages. I loved it.

Meow Meow Milks the Cow: A Towers of Light Read to Me is beautifully illustrated by talented artist, Reace Erbe. The pictures are so visually appealing and keeps the youngest of eyes captivated with the story. They are a perfect addition to the book. 

I am giving Meow Meow Milks the Cow: A Towers of Light Read to Me five stars. I highly recommend it for readers who are between the ages of three and seven years of age. 

I received a copy of Allen Brokken's Meow Meow Milks the Cow: A Towers of Light Read to Me from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
