Into the Green with Jake and Dean

About the book

Big Trail, Big Hearts—An Unforgettable Wilderness Adventure Begins!

Brothers Dean and Jake are ready for a big day of exploring the winding trails and towering pines of Colorado’s San Juan National Forest. Older brother Dean loves the thrill of the hike, while younger brother Jake, who is non-verbal autistic, experiences the magic of the woods in his own unique way, communicating through sign language.

What starts as an exciting mountain trek quickly turns into a real wilderness mission when the brothers discover a little girl who has lost her way. Working together as a team, Dean and Jake use smart outdoor skills, calm thinking, and clear communication to guide her safely back.

Into the Green with Jake and Dean is an action-packed, heartwarming story that seamlessly blends outdoor exploration, neurodivergent representation, and real-world learning for young readers.
