About this item
An ode to finding the one who brings out the best in you - and makes you feel as special as you are.A clever little dog christens himself "Sad" when his humans fail to give him a name. Although they feed him and wash him, they don't appreciate his many gifts, like his love of singing ("stop that yapping!") . When the people move away and leave Sad behind, Sad is heartbroken. But then a new family with a young boy arrives at Sad's house in a big truck. Although Sad is initially frightened, it soon becomes clear that the boy is just the right person to make a dog's life complete with playtime, treats, and a brand-new name: Lucky. Welcoming illustrations illuminate this joyful tale, which reminds young readers to appreciate themselves and the ones - human or otherwise - who depend on them.
About the Author
I am a mum, a children's author and a computer programmer. Much to my surprise, the three go together very well. I love to read - anything and everything - but children's and young adult titles are my favourite.
Growing up in a house with few books, I discovered reading and the library when I started school. I studied hard because books were given as academic prizes.
I began writing in 2002 when one of my children stopped reading. A mother-son writing project ended with me being told to "go write your own book". I did and have been doing so ever since.
