Jack With the Curly Tail

About the Book

Life is full of changing places. Sometimes it takes you to a new city, a new neighborhood or new school. Sometimes the reasons are happy and some time they can be sad. You may even be separated from the people you love -family and friends. Although it can sometimes be a scary world, in time you will meet new faces in safe spaces that make you happy but memories and that special place in your heart for the past never go away. In “Home Is Where the Heart Is” Jack, the puppy with the curly tail, comes full circle making new friends with his forever family while reuniting with his past. Often the world has questions and situations that can be unsettling and even frightening. Will others want to be my friends? Is it okay to be different? Will I always be loved? What is family? These are questions children sometimes have and are often the most difficult to answer. “Jack” addresses these questions and more in a thoughtful, caring way designed to foster communication and understanding.
