Welcome, I’m so glad you are here!

I’m a mom and a writer with a passion for children and nature, and all the wonder to behold in each of them. Sir Frederique von Turtlestein is my debut book. It is so special to me because I have always LOVED turtles, and I was able to create this book with a very talented artist, my dad!

I have a whole world of stories filled with humor, friendship, and more often than not, animals, that I cannot wait to share with you.

Sir Frederique von Turtlestein

by Amanda Geers

Illustrated by Vincent Stevens

Set in the San Juan Islands, Sir Frederique von Turtlestein is the knight’s tale journey of a red-eared slider turtle and his friend, a bold rufous hummingbird. Their quest leads them to the giants, monsters, and dragons of the natural world kingdom, but none so deceitful as the bullies in their own minds.

A tale filled with humor, sorrow, and friendship; this is a wonderful pick for your nature and adventure-loving children. A great storytime book to read with your family, for reading along with kindergartners and older, or as an early chapter book for advanced readers.
