Junga the Dancing Yeti Meets Heidi will be promoted to youth organizations throughout southern California by author Stephen Tako and Motivational speaker Dave Desrochers
Grandpa JoJo Yeti's character was created in the image of author Stephen Tako's father who passed away unexpectedly during the production of the first Junga the Dancing Yeti(TM) book. Artist Peter Gullerud took an image of Joseph Tako and created Grandpa Yeti's portrait which was on the wall in one of the scenes from the first Junga book and video.
For the second book, Junga the Dancing Yeti Meets Heidi, Peter Gullerud took a picture of Joseph Tako wearing lederhosen and created an image of Grandpa and Grandma Yeti dancing during a memory scene for Grandma Yeti.
Stephen provided video editor James Alburger a voicemail recording of the late Joseph inviting his son to attend an Oktoberfest event in August 2017 at the Donauschwaben's German-American Cultural Center in Olmsted Falls, Ohio. This recording was used in the video scene with Grandma and Grandpa Yeti dancing.
See if you can find the "Wilhelm Scream" in this video.
