Mike Cowan started out writing a book The History of Fondy Bears Hockey, about a men’s senior team in Fond du Lac that began in the 1930s. After that success, he went on to write When grass was green and skies were blue, Remembering the Madison Cardinals, and The Wausau Vets and the Early Days of Wausau Hockey. His latest endeavor is a tribute to the legendary Badger Hockey Coach Bob Johnson, It’s a great day for hockey. With contributions of over 60 of Badger Bob’s former players, the book engages readers with personal accounts of the attributes that endeared this coach to so many people.

Having gone into multiple printings, this book for Attach: Association for Training on Trauma and Attachment in Children, Hope for Healing, utilizes an image and colors that show a range of emotions.

There is also the juxtaposition between the stillness of the water, the contemplative gait of the parents, and the energy of the child.
