YAY for coloring books! Color your way through, Will You Hold My Story?
Tired, little Meggi Beth finds a step on which to sit, a place to rest her big story carried on her back.
As she rests there, the street carries a variety of people to her, all of them lost in their own thoughts. She asks a busy elderly Mister to hold her story, but he seems laden with his own stories. Then a mom, whose manuscripts and planners are falling out of her clutch, trots down the street; others follow, barely pausing in their hurry to notice Meggi Beth. Everyone seems too busy to hear her out.
When a gentle dog stops for little Meggi Beth, we are reminded that youngsters need pets, and that pets are excellent listening buddies.
Meggi Beth learns to care for her new puppy.
This is a Capture Books tale for dog champions everywhere, told with extraordinary artistry and exceptional skill.
The author's personal philosophy is, "by telling our stories, we give others permission to unload their own weights and worries."
Kathy is an enthusiastic supporter of therapy dogs and dogs-in-general - they are loyal friends and excellent listeners.
