In Little Skiff s Moving Adventures, Skiff must move from his home in Alaska to Arizona. The second book, Little Skiff Copes With Valley Fever, has Skiff battling this respiratory disease, which is prevalent in the Southwest.

The Little Skiff books are the perfect blend of fiction and nonfiction, teaching and entertaining at the same time.
