“The Magic of Merryfin Sparkshoe” is Smith’s first book in The North Peak Adventures Series. In it the author has created a community inhabited with elves that are “big, small, short, tall, gift-smiths, cooks, map-makers, sweater-knitters and reindeer groomers,” just to name a few of their attributes and responsibilities.
The message of his tale resonates with hope and the spirit of community, where each elf uses his or her strengths and talents to get things done and solve problems.
The first book was released Sept. 1, and the second book is set for September 2027.
The 76-page chapter book is intended for 6 through 10-year-olds and is available in both printed and eBook version through Amazon.com.
