Welcome to Bookworm Gardens

In the past I have shared with you a wonderful new children's literacy garden that is coming to Sheboygan, Wisconsin… well, it is here!  Still a work in progress, but many of the gardens are open for you to bring your children.  Enjoy a day in nature, exploring, reading, talking and just being.

This is the latest video they have put together– the joy on the children's faces is priceless.  This is how children should be taking in all that nature has to offer and reading to enhance creativity and expression.

Once again, I must say how extremely proud I am to know that Frankie's story will live on forever in these gardens… and if you watch closely enough you may just see a dog rolling on wheels in the video!  Frankie's dog house will make its appearance soon… her papa is currently building it!

The grand opening is October 16 & 17 so do check it out if you can!  We are so lucky to have this right here in our back yard, which is also free to the public.

 

The Pet Playground- Dogs & the Women Who Love Them

If you missed the Pet Playground Radio Show where the book,Dogs and the Women Who Love Them, along with some of the women, and their dogs, featured in this heart warming book, you can now listen to the replay.

Guests on the show were the authors of Dogs and the Women Who Love Them, Linda and Allen Anderson of Angel Animal Network, Jenny Pavlovic, author of 8 State Hurricane Kate, Sage Lewis author of Java: The True Story of Shelter Dog who Rescued a Woman, and myself, author of Frankie the Walk ‘N Roll Dog book series.

It was a powerful discussion of how each of us women have had our lives profoundly affected by some very speical dogs and we are happy to say, we have never to been the same since.
