Fifteen-year-old Angel Williams has wanted a puppy for all of her life, so she is ecstatic when her dad finally agrees she can get one – but only on one condition. She has to hit a home run in her softball game later in the day. Much to Angel’s delight, she does, and she is rewarded with an adorable chocolate Labrador named Homer. Homer becomes her team’s mascot, and he leads them on their quest to win the state championship. But when Homer is injured in a freak accident, can Angel and the rest of the team continue without him? A touching tale for children of all ages.Fifteen-year-old Angel Williams has wanted a puppy for all of her life, so she is ecstatic when her dad finally agrees she can get one – but only on one condition.

Review & Description

Pee Wee the piglet sneaks off to the county fair and is an overnight success. He wins his first race as a pig racer, and everyone cheers for him and wants his snoutograph. But things change quickly. Being a superstar isn’t as great as Pee Wee first thought, and there are many problems to deal with, including pushy agents, fickle fans, and long, lonely road trips. Pee Wee meets good friends along the way, including an elderly racing pig named Emerson and a beautiful, young piglet named Penelope. But when Emerson injures his knee and cannot race anymore, does Pee Wee have the strength to continue racing without him? Will Pee Wee crack under the stresses of superstardom, or will he rise to the challenge and become the greatest racing pig of all time?

A touching tale for children of all ages.

Features illustrations by teen sensation Shelly Shin.Pee Wee the piglet sneaks off to the county fair and is an overnight success.

Review & Description

When Jewish families were torn from their homes, neighborhoods and livelihoods, what happened to the animals that loved and depended on them? Here is a collection of never-before-told stories of pets during the Holocaust. Most of these accounts are told by men and women who were children during World War II in Europe. As they lost parents, siblings and friends in the death camps, their beloved pets provided comfort and courage, gave them a connection to happier times, and helped them to never give up hope.
ADVANCE PRAISE:
"Susan Bulanda shares with us stories of love instead of hate, selflessness instead of selfishness. These stories speak to the spirit of hope in all humans (and animals)." -Rabbi Loel M. Weiss
"This unique collection's deeply moving stories by Holocaust survivors reveal how the bond with their companion animals intensified and deepened during that dark, horrific night of carnage, betrayal, and terror, providing solace, warmth and love. These heart-braking and heart-warming stories add a hitherto unexplored dimension to our necessary knowledge of the Holocaust and cast new light on the indestructible, soul-sustaining nature of the human-animal bond." -Aviva Cantor, author and v.p. of C.H.A.I. (Concern for Helping Animals in Israel)
"These stories reflect the love and pleasure that pets provided to those who endured great suffering. Bulanda captures the deep affection between humans and their beloved companion animals. The stories are engaging and reflective, giving animals lover pause. We will all hug our pets closely after reading these accounts!" -Gayle M. Irwin, author of Sage's Big Adventure and Sage Learns to Listen Read more

To Stephanie O’Hanlon, 40-something workaholic, a blank to-do list is crazy-making. When she gets laid off and rescues a huge, smiling dog from a shelter—a dog her friend insists is inhabited by Steph’s lover from a former life—she discovers the true meaning of crazy.

Gabe Fagen, handyman and crazy-in-love with Stephanie since they were teenagers, sees Steph losing her job as the chance he’s been waiting for. But will she notice he’s alive with a mysterious giant dog acting as her guardian angel?
