Buster was sure he was the fastest bunny in the meadow. But during a race at summer camp, nothing goes as planned and Buster gets tripped up.

After his epic fall, Buster’s older sister, Ivy, helps him see that failure is an opportunity to grow. As Buster remembers God’s love, he is able to let go of others’ opinions and accept that it is okay to try your best but not always be the best.

Enjoy this reading of Buster's Ears Trip Him Up, read and illustrated by Joe Hox.

Joe Hox specializes in book illustration and fine art. He is on a mission to help make great stories come to life with playful, beautifully crafted illustrations.

He offers a variety of different artist talks including artist presentations on ‘How To Be A Creative Kid’ – ‘Raising Creative Kids’ - and ‘Worth In Christ’ which is geared toward Christian schools and church groups.

Joe talks about his experience as a bumbling farm kid, finding art, and eventually finding his identity and worth in Christ (not art!). Kids get to watch Joe draw throughout the presentation.

Mark Wainwright loves adventure. That quest to see new sights, explore new lands, and meet new people has taken him to all 50 states and over 30 countries. He’s ridden elephants in Thailand, hang-glided in the Swiss Alps, and even been stranded on a small boat in the Bismarck Sea.

But Mark also loves finding adventure through the pages of a book! He especially enjoys reading stories that make him feel as if he is there with the characters and experiencing the action for himself.

For 16 years, Mark led the editorial departments at several Christian book publishers. Then, in 2017, Mark transitioned to teaching professional writing courses at a Christian college in Florida. He now uses his publishing experience to help guide the next generation of writers and editors.

Mark’s writing credits include publication in magazines, newspapers, textbooks, and literary journals. He’s recognized as an outstanding writer, editor, and contributor. Above all, Mark remains passionate about using his writing and editing skills for the glory of God. He encourages his professional writing students to courageously influence their communities through the power of writing.
