As Kaesee Bourne's author/illustrator debut, Discoveries in the Sand takes readers on an eye-opening journey with Nyla: a young girl who is frustrated that her family’s annual day trip will be to the Mojave Desert instead of the beach. To Nyla, the desert is a barren land filled with nothing but tumbleweeds and sand; it is not until her parents give her the task of searching for some of the many animals of this desert, that Nyla realizes how full of life this ecosystem really is. By the end of the trip, she has had a change of heart, and can’t wait to come back again so she can see more of what the Mojave Desert has to offer.
Discoveries in the Sand is perfect for introducing children to the desert ecosystem and the concept of being good stewards of the environment. This book will leave you with a greater appreciation of nature’s hidden beauty. So pack your water, hat, and sunglasses, and prepare to embark on this desert adventure.
How to Purchase
There are many options for getting your very own copy of Discoveries in the Sand. Please continue reading to find out more!
Online
If you live outside of the Las Vegas area, or cannot make it to an in-person event, you can purchase the book online. Please know that books purchased this way are fulfilled and shipped with a third-party service that prints books as they are ordered, meaning that it will take a few weeks for your copy to reach you. ​If you would like your copy autographed, that will be a little bit of a different process, but we can definitely get that to you!
FYI: While the book is available on Amazon, it is not recommended to purchase through there, as I have heard some negative reviews from other indie book authors.
Also available on:

If you are a local, you can purchase in person at book reading/signing events throughout the city, or if I know you personally, the next time I see you. When choosing this option, you can either pay in advance through this website (contact me for the code to remove shipping), or let me know that you want to purchase in person with cash or card.
