Special Thanks

First, I need to thank a very special human whom I have come to adore over the past many months, Carly. Your input in this book was wonderful, and I am grateful to you for sharing your time and love for children’s books with me.

You may have noticed I mentioned three specific children’s books in the story. I encourage you to read each of them, especially if you have young children, as they each have such sweet messages.

Spike: The Penguin With Rainbow Hair, written by Sarah Cullen and Carmen Ellis, illustrated by Zuzana Svobodova.

Do Not Wish For A Pet Ostrich!, written by Sarina Siebenaler, illustrated by Gabby Correia.

Oliver Gilmore: A Doxie’s Diary, written by Greg McGoon, illustrated by Dave Reed.

Thank you to Sarah, Carmen, Sarina, and Greg for allowing me to include your books in this story.

Also, a special thank you to my advance readers for taking the time to read this book ahead of launch day. I sincerely appreciate your help in giving this book the launch it deserves to help such a deserving cause. You are all amazing.
