Home School Book Review on Hiking the Grand Mesa

Torke, Kyle.  Hiking the Grand Mesa: A Clementine the Rescue Dog Story (Published in 2020  by Loving Healing Press, 5145  Pontiac Trail, Ann Arbor, MI  48205).   Two young boys, Coover and Conrad, go with their Grandma and their mighty rescue dog, Clementine, on a desert adventure.  They hike through the southern Colorado Dobies, a series of steep hills made from adobe clay that formed as the nearby volcanoes, now extinct, eroded.  Their goal is to explore one of the most unique landscapes in Colorado–the Grand Mesa. At first, Coover seems a little sad and lonely at the apparently barren and solitary landscape, but Grandma introduces him to the rich wildlife, both plant and animal, around them, and both boys go tramping through an imaginative journey.  What will they see?  Where will they go?  And what will they do?

Hiking the Grand Mesa is a nature lover’s dream.  Beginning readers will be fascinated by the vivid history of the area as described in author Kyle Torke’s clear, detailed text, and by the beautiful scenery depicted in illustrator Barbara Torke’s gorgeous watercolor paintings.

This fun and insightful story is a wonderful, challenging reading experience with vocabulary development, contextual learning, and the encouragement of imagination.  From woodpeckers and toads, to cattails and sunflowers, youngsters will be awakened to a whole new world.  The first book in the series is Ice Breaking: The Adventures of Clementine the Rescue Dog.

Journey From Head to Heart is...

  • A Toolkit for those who are exhausted from solving neverending
    problems, working harder and harder and not
    arriving at the destination where they truly want to be.
  • A Map for how to make the journey from head to heart and
    then integrate the two so that the power of ego is diminished
    and the Authentic Self can emerge to live and work
    from the power of the human spirit.
  • A Reference book you can use for many years to come as
    the reader meets life's challenges with success that satisfies
    both the head and the heart.


    Journey from Head to Heart is exactly that, integrating logic, reason, emotion,
    spirituality, recovery, science, and ancient wisdom from a variety of sources to
    create a recipe for wholeness. The tools and processes are designed for people
    who are a little wary of "touchy-feely" or "New Age" approaches.

    Praise for Journey From Head to Heart


    "For beginners on a spiritual voyage, as well as for experienced travelers,
    Journey From Head To Heart is very powerful. I couldn't put it down. Its stories,
    told with clarity and simplicity, make it a treasure."

    --Dr. Linda O'Neal, Executive Director, Southwest Education Alliance


    "This book is for people struggling with work/life balance, for entrepreneurs,
    for those seeking their authentic purpose in life and work. It lays out a plan to
    get ego out of the way, lead with humility, and communicate so that others are
    attracted to your cause."

    --Dick Moeller, President St. David's Community Health Foundation


    "What separates this book from the majority of self-help manuals is the
    author's awareness that many people in today's world neglect to acknowledge
    the importance of personal faith and spirituality in the growth process, and in
    turn, are unable to integrate their actions with their beliefs."

    --Lisa Heidle, Rebecca's Reads
