We especially like this kidlit review on Goodreads of Bash and Lucy Say, “Love, Love, Bark!” because it summarizes what we were trying to achieve in our book.

“An engaging and entertaining children’s book that teaches young readers valuable lessons about empathy, kindness, and the importance of community. The story of Bash, Lucy, and their family and friends is both heartwarming and inspiring, and the book’s message of spreading love for dogs is sure to resonate with young readers. The mystery at the heart of the story is engaging and will keep readers on the edge of their seats until the very end.”

Here’s another one (posted on Amazon) that we like, because, again, the reader grasped our message. We understand that not everyone will get what we are trying to say, so it’s nice when readers do!

I Want to Live in Woof-Woof Nation!

“A loving tribute to our canine heroes that masterfully weaves fantasy and much needed empathy. Who wouldn’t want a sister like Ally, a grandmother like Vera, and a dog like Lucy? This book will appeal to kids and adults with sensory challenges and anyone who thinks we should listen and love like our four-legged friends.

A good book to read to elementary aged students.”

Thanks to the readers who have purchased our book to support Ukraine. We’re donating 100% of the book’s and ebook’s price (from May and June sales) to the Ukrainian Foundation. Learn more about the fundraiser.

Right now, we’re getting ready to record the audiobook for Bash and Lucy Say, “Love, Love, Bark!” This will take at least a few months because this book is longer than the others we have written. With each book, we have created an audiobook that features our voices plus the voices of friends and family members. Even Hudson, our golden retriever (pictured above)  lent his deep bark to our last audiobook.

Speaking of Hudson, don’t forget to watch the one-minute book trailer of puppy Hudson romping with 5-year-old Michael (almost ten years ago!):
