FEHR’S BOOK ARRIVES AT BWK TEAM STORE:
Eric Fehr’s his new children’s book has hit store shelves in both the U.S. capital and at the BWK Team Store located at Brandon’s Keystone Centre.
A 29-year old Winkler product, Fehr has authorted a children’s book “The Bulliest Dozer” with Pamela Duncan Edwards in an effort to raise money for bullying prevention.
The children’s story is about a bullying bulldozer and the idea came to him several years ago, first in the form of the title. Then he started working on story lines and finally partnered with Edwards, an author known for her aliteration whose titles include “Clara Caterpillar,” “Road! A Noisy Counting Book” and “Some Smug Slug.”
Fehr, who played from 2001 to 2005 in Brandon and was chosen the WHL’s Player of the Year during his final season, says that bullying is an issue that he feels strongly about. He hopes to encourage positive behavior and has worked this past year to make his vision become a reality.
