We were excited to see that our new children’s soccer book (also a dog book!), Bash and Lucy Say, “Love, Love, Bark!” was named a “#1 Hot New Release” in children’s soccer books on Amazon.

The book will be released April 4, but is now available for presale on Amazon here: Bash and Lucy Say, “Love, Love, Bark!”

All four of our children’s books have a soccer theme. Our journey began with Bash and Lucy Fetch Confidence, in which golden retriever Lucy helps the members of a soccer team feel more confident. In our second soccer book, Bash and Lucy Fetch Jealousy, Lucy helps lead the soccer team to the championships. But Bash is overcome with jealousy when Lucy enchants a team of Special Olympics kids who say they want her to coach their team. And in our third book, Bash and Lucy Fetch Team Vera and the Dream Beasts,  Lucy has become a local superstar because she barks, wags and kisses Bash’s team to victory. Now, all the kids want Lucy to coach their teams, especially Paula, Bash’s girl-power cousin.  Paula says her soccer team has the right to have Lucy coach her team because girls deserve the very best coaches under Title IX.

In our latest book, Bash and Lucy Say, “Love, Love, Bark!” Grandma Vera–Bash’s immigrant grandma from Ukraine–teaches Bash to take advantage of his super sensitivities to improve his soccer skills. But his teammates are jealous, and want Grandma Vera to help them, too. The team members, along with Lucy, also help Bash solve the mystery of the missing dog books, and, along the way, get to visit Vera’s house. They are surprised by Vera’s unique “sensitivity training” style.
