Books by Steve Kaye
Welcome!
I design books that are easy to read. The fonts are a bit larger, the paragraphs are shorter, and the space is more open.
Most important, the content is positive, often with a touch of whimsey.
So people will want to read and keep these feel-good books.
All these books have been published using Barnes & Noble’s print on demand service, except for Life Poems and the book by Stephen Shunk.

Trees, And the Rock That Holds Them
Welcome to this uncommon photo tour of Zion National Park.
This book shows both popular views of Zion National Park plus views that few people notice.
Many of the photos were taken with telephoto lenses, and thus they capture distant scenery. For example, the tree on the cover can be seen, if you stand in front of the lodge and look across the river. Yes, it’s there, far away.
The book also includes uplifting poems and inspirational thoughts. So this is a book that will be a joy to keep and share.

What Birds Want to Tell Us
Birds are concerned about our environment because they depend upon it.
So they helped me write this book.
This is a friendly book with a positive tone about protecting birds and the environment we (both us and the birds) depend upon.
It contains conversations with birds, stories, and other fantasies – all with practical actions that you can use. Most of these actions will save you money, improve your health, and provide greater comfort.

2021 Favorite Photos
Enjoy 47 special photos from 2021.
These photos show and celebrate the incredible beauty we find in nature.
I realize common vocabulary refers to “Taking Photos,” when in fact, we receive them.
Since these are photos of wild birds and butterflies, none of them were planned. Or posed. So each of them was a gift. Each of them was a surprise.
Of course, I did go out 175 times seeking them. And from experience I knew where to wait, which helped a little.

Butterflies
See photos of 21 different species of butterflies that came to our yard.
Some of these butterflies are so small, you need binoculars or a really good photo to identify them.
The photos are awesome. And the message is inspiring.
By the way, I bought and gave copies of this book as Halloween treats. The kids were delighted.
