LITERARY cont’d on page 63
Based on the real K-9
herself, in the first book, we follow a smart and gentle Papillion in her journeys
learning valuable life lessons with her diverse group
of animal friends. Rosy
Posy’s story invites your
child to participate with
vivid illustrations, “bite- sized”easy to read pages
and fun songs in each book. Parents will find excellent teachable moments &
quality storytelling that will
lead to more independent
and successful children. It is
a refreshing story that even
has a fun song they sing
together. You can’t help but
smile when you sing it with them!
Sep 11 ~ Petaluma Women Who Write
“We are friends, buddies to the end.
Friends are kind, the hardest to nd.
Friends are caring, lessons in sharing.
“This is a positive message that we all can be reminded of. Rosy and her friends are adorable. My children loved the Friendship song and remembered the words! They were singing it in the garage. More stories like this one, please.” ~ Amazon Review
The fun has begun, together everyone!”
There is a real Rosy Posy! She was adopted by the author who is a foster mom for Pap Haven Rescue. One hundred percent of the authors’ royalties from the book benefit Pap Haven Rescue. Author, Diana Rangaves relates, “About one month after she arrived, Rosy escaped into my field. I found her safe visiting with the pony, ram, and goats! Rosy Posy is strong, curious, and has courage. We need a tool to teach each half generation of children values in a compelling, fun, and bright way.
