Books with author Matt Shanahan

I decided to write this book after I had driven across the country from New York to California and back. After seeing all the landmarks that I had been dying to see, I was inspired to share my great experience in book form and in a fun way with children who might become inspired to have the same fun educational experience. I was also driven to make sure that it was completed by the time my son was old enough to read, so I could read him a book that his own father had created.

This is the second book in my series about Timmy Tucker and his nightly dream adventures in locations in the United States. The focus of this book is Massachusetts, one of my favorite states due to the abundance of historical landmarks and significant events that are tied to laying the foundation to this great nation. As with my first book, it is my goal to inspire children to learn about the awesome stories that make up our history and the landmarks surrounding these events. This book paints a portrait of Massachusetts while following our main character, Timmy Tucker, and his sidekick, Hamilton Bear, on some new adventures as they explore the state. This series is dedicated to my son, who inspires me every day to be the best father, teacher, and person that I can be.
