Here's a photo of the real Roscoe (and me, too).
When my son was little and saw it, he said, "Mom, did this used to be YOU?"

Roscoe was afraid to climb trees at first. It inspired me to write a song:

Roscoe the squirrell raised by Ruth Elliott

Roscoe’s Song, © Ruth Elliott, 1974 

(Verse)

Oh Little Darlin' don't worry about the trees,

Just keep on climbin' as far as you can see,

Past life's pinecones of plenty, life’s needles of pain,

Oh little darlin’ don’t worry ‘bout the next branch.

Too soon shall it come by the way.

By the way, don’t worry little darlin’,

Little darlin’ don’t worry ‘bout the way.

(Chorus)

We’ve shared life’s journey so far,

Don’t turn your tail and run,

at the first shadow of a bird passing overhead,

Just keep travlin’ on,

So high, so very high above,

So high, above the trees. 

(Repeat first verse)

 

Way back in the time of B.C. (Before children) I raised little Roscoe.
I tell the whole story in my Art Book for Kids,
"SEE WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT!" (the first Art textbook to reference the CA Math standards!)
