What People are
Saying...
Hi Melissa - I
finally got a good shot
of Daisy with one of my students who was reading Emmitt's
book... check out
Daisy's blog entry 9/28/07. We
had so much fun reading it and have been doing the workbook
too. It's perfect for my students and they LOVE reading a book
about another pug!!! I let him take the ABC book home to
show his sister for the weekend because he liked it so much! Big pug hugs from Switzerland, Lex & Daisy
Hi, Melissa.
I just wanted you to know that my first graders absolutely
loved your books, WHY AM I SPECIAL? and EMMITT & OLIVE.
As a matter of fact, another teacher saw WHY AM I SPECIAL?
in my classroom and asked to borrow it to read to a
particular third grader who needed a little confidence
boost. Then just today, I caught one of my first graders
reading EMMITT & OLIVE during silent reading time.
She got half way through today and asked for a sticky note
to mark her place until tomorrow’s silent reading time when
she plans to finish the story. You see, she was sick/absent
on the day I’d read it to the class and had been very
disappointed when she returned and found that she’d missed
out. Luckily, she’s an advanced reader so she can read it
independently. The children were mesmerized by the
illustrations in both books. You did a wonderful job of
capturing the dogs’ emotions in their faces! Thank you.
It was a pleasure meeting you and sharing your books.

Author's Note:
The Creation of Why Am I Special? |
|
|
In years prior,
if I created 5 paintings, I was thrilled. My paintings do not come
to me everyday. I describe them as energy. I tell people that I can
feel a painting coming on. So, when I count how many paintings I
created in 2006, and see
that the number is 51, I am amazed.
The 51 paintings include 11
pugs and 40 of what I call
Pug Pals. For
the first time, I wanted to capture other breeds of dogs as well.
With all of these wonderful faces starring at me, I realized they
were characters in another children's book. So, in April 2006, I started
my journey of writing Why Am I Special?
I am extremely proud to share my book with the
world.
An important lesson taught to me everyday by
my pug, Emmitt
shines
through.
We do not need to look long and hard, sometimes beating
ourselves up on the way, to find our purpose, why we are here, why
we are special. The answer is unique to each of us because we
are all unique in who we are and what we have to show the world.
Be yourself. Appreciate who you are because it is a
gift to the world that inspires others around you more than you will
ever know. |
