Attention Teachers and Parents:  Click Here to Order My New Book for  Young Readers!
Storee Wryter is a young girl with a big imagination and a love of writing. Every day brings a new adventure and a new story to tell. "Storee Wryter Gets a Dog," the first in a planned book series designed to encourage young writers, follows Storee and her cat, Critique, as they raise a puppy to become a trained therapy dog.  The book takes the young reader through Storee's challenge of raising a puppy and training it to help others. Later, Storee visits a classroom of special needs children, and learns how she can reach out to other students with the help of her capable canine. It's an experience that inspires Storee to write -- and will spark the imaginations of students in grades 3 through 5. Two writing prompts and space to write are included in the back of the book.        
60 pages  
$7.99 (paperback)  $4.99 (digital download)
