Kristin Downs Releases SUN CHILD

Author Kristin Downs confesses that she loves animals. After watching several documentaries about meerkats on television, specifically Animal Planet's "Meerkat Manor," which ran for four seasons, she was inspired to write "Sun Child: A Meerkat's Tale " (published by Trafford Publishing).

This book tells the story of a young meerkat named Masada, who got separated from his family, but was rescued and adopted by another family. Growing up, he realizes that both families- the one he was born into and the one that raised him- are at odds with each other and is caught in the middle of their rivalry.

"Anyone who enjoys symbolism or the joys of family ties will really like this story," Downs says. "Readers will also like the adventures and humor sprinkled within."

An adventure, coming of age fable for all ages to read, "Sun Child" is a story of a family bonded by more than blood. Through the publication of this book, Downs hope readers will pay a lot of respect for animals and their struggle to survive.
