Sonny and the Big Clean-up Day

Readers:

I announce the publication of my new e-book about homelessness, Sonny and the Big Clean-up Day, (A Story for Kids and Adults).

In the book, Sonny the husky discovers a homeless encampment destroying a creek in a Portland city park. She alerts her owner and a park ranger and inspires a community clean-up of the damaged riparian area. Neighborhood citizens and residents of the encampment join Sonny to restore a tiny part of a watershed and later celebrate their collaboration.

This book was inspired by my discovery of a children's Lassie book published in 1970 where Lassie leads a litter clean-up of a national park on Earth Day. I wrote it in similar kid-friendly style, but perhaps with parody also in mind. I have long wondered how parents today talk to their kids about homelessness, since it is all around us. Perhaps this story will help.

Sonny and the Big Clean-up Day is available through Amazon and also through my web site via PayPal at nestuccaspitpress.com

If you order it through my site you do not need an e-book reader. You will download the story in the E-pub or PDF formats and then easily read it on any device.

Thanks for your support of an independent Pacific Northwest publisher.
