Description
Follow the adventures of Onyx, the Coast Guard morale dog, in this exciting children’s book series set in the Great Lakes.
Originally written to help his four young children understand what their dad did during his Coast Guard search and rescue missions, the stories grew into a heartfelt tribute to the men and women who serve in the United States Coast Guard. Through Onyx’s adventures, young readers learn about teamwork, service, courage, and helping others in need.
The author, Tyler Benson, served in the Coast Guard for over 20 years and now resides in Petoskey. His firsthand experiences bring authenticity and heart to every story.
Be sure to check out The Mighty Mackinaw, which features the current USCGC Mackinaw (WLBB-30) and her role as the Christmas Tree Ship, introducing young readers to a unique chapter of Great Lakes maritime history.
