Tiny treasures

Lee Jourdan and David Boroughs (pictured, from left with preschool children), wrote and illustrated a new children’s book. The Chipmunks SEARCH for Tiny Acorn Treasures was created for the oldest class at SEARCH’s House of Tiny Treasures (HTT) preschool and is dedicated to the hard-working teachers. HTT is an award-winning preschool for children who have experienced homelessness. The retired senior leaders from Chevron wrote and illustrated the book about a group of chipmunks who help their friend retrieve an acorn she needs to bake her nut bread. It is a beautiful story about friendship and teamwork. Lee Jourdan is a dedicated board member and a regular volunteer who reads to children twice a month. He decided to write a book for the students where they could see themselves in the characters. Lee asked David, an author and artist, to illustrate the book. Each student is named and featured in the book, and if you look hard enough, you can find their names drawn into the design of their chipmunk.
