DALLAS, TX, UNITED STATES, November 18, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- After years of professional writing, private equity attorney Jeff Dorrill decided it was time to write something different than his usual scholarly text. His forthcoming illustrated children's book, "Brunt and Eggbert" (Blue Balloon Books; November 26th, 2024), follows an unlikely friendship and chosen family. Brunt, the kind and intelligent but scary-looking monster, and Eggbert, an orphaned boy with a unique set of talents, couldn't be more different in appearance. But both long for family and find it in one another.

Jeff sought to pen an entertaining and emotional children's book about the magic of chosen family. Inspired by the many caregivers who played a role in his own rearing, Jeff dreamt up "Brunt and Eggbert" and brought the story to life.

In a tale of equal parts adventure, humor, and heart, "Brunt and Eggbert" is an action-packed and heartwarming tale that is sure to find its place beside the many beloved classics of our childhood memories.
