Carol is here to talk about Trouble Dog: From Shelter Dog to Conservation Hero , illustrated by Larry Day and published by Eerdmans Books for Young Readers for kids 5 – 9 years. Trouble Dog is available wherever you can buy books and a Junior Library Guild selection.

Who is your key dog character and what kind of dog is he/she? 

My dog hero, Tucker, is a composite of two real dogs from Working Dogs for Conservation, Pepin and Wicket. In the illustrations, Tucker is mostly golden retriever, but lots of different breeds can be conservation dogs—labrador retrievers, border collies, German shepherds, golden retrievers, Belgian Malinois, and mixed breeds.

Tell us about your story. 

Trouble Dog is the story of a smart, energetic dog who is abandoned at a shelter for being too much trouble, but he is recognized for his talents by a conservationist and given love, a home, and a new life traveling the world to help save wildlife. It’s based on the real lives and adventures of Pepin and Wicket, who became canine heroes with Working Dogs for Conservation, the world’s largest and oldest conservation dog organization.

What inspired you to write this story?

Like a lot of people, I’d never heard of a conservation dog. I saw my first one, Pepin, at an annual Wildlife Conservation Network (WCN) expo in San Francisco. Pepin’s handler, Megan Parker, who later became one of my main sources for the book, had Pepin demonstrate his talented nose by hiding things for him to find. She described how conservation dogs help biologists by sniffing out invasive plants and animals not easily detected by humans, and by finding the scat of rare or endangered species so scientists can study the animals without disturbing them.

Being a lover of dogs and wildlife, I was immediately intrigued and wanted to know more, but what touched my heart and inspired me to write this story was learning that these remarkable dogs are often abandoned at shelters and marked as trouble because they’re too rambunctious and full of energy to make good pets. Fortunately, organizations like Working Dogs for Conservation have learned to search shelters for such dogs and give them a second chance at life. The same qualities that make them trouble, their nonstop energy and intense focus, help them become great conservation dogs. I knew right away that I wanted to write that story—of a rejected dog being rescued, celebrated for his incredible abilities, and finding his place in the world.

What was the biggest challenge you had writing your story? How did you overcome it?

My biggest challenge might have been inertia! It was all too easy for me to keep putting off the writing. Fortunately, one morning I woke up with an opening line in my head and told myself I had to start. That beginning did not become the final opening, but it got me going, which was what I needed.

Once I started, the challenge was getting the right balance between the story, information, and emotion. I had an enormous number of revisions ahead of me. In early drafts, I was carried away writing too much about Tucker’s antics and his being taken to the shelter. Eventually I realized that I could leave much of that to the illustrator and have more room to write about his training and adventures in the field.

What kind of story can we expect next from you? Is it about a dog? If so, what can you tell us about it?

I have another picture book in the works that also deals with conservation and is based on a true story. It’s about a wild cheetah in Botswana and the young girl whose love for cheetahs helps save its life. A dog does factor into the story but in a much smaller role. I’m also working on a middle grade time travel novel. As much as I love science and nature, I also love the idea of visiting history through time travel.

What else would you like us to know about you or your story?

I hope readers will take away the idea that everyone has value and is capable of doing amazing things, even if their strengths haven’t been recognized yet. I love that this story has that message at its core. As much as it is about the enduring relationship between dogs and humans, and about the positive work being done in the field of conservation, it’s also about everyone having worth and a place in the world.

Can you remember the first book that made an impact on you? Why?

The first book I remember being passionate about was MARY POPPINS. I loved reading about real kids who found magic in the everyday world. After that I couldn’t get my hands on enough books that let me imagine magic in my own life.

What advice would you give to aspiring writers?

Start. Don’t wait until you think it will be perfect, or even good. It can be hard to start writing because you know that first draft is not going to be right. Your first draft might even be terrible. You just have to face that and get going so you can make it better.

Also, and this is even harder, don’t be discouraged by rejection. It’s tough trying to succeed in a field where part of the process, almost always, is getting turned down. Accept that’s the path and keep going.

Oh and, join a critique group. It’s invaluable to have other writers you build trust with and can take honest criticism from.

I’m also on Instagram @carolafootewriter and Facebook as Carol A Foote.

As a debut PB author, share with us one thing that surprised you in the publishing process? 

This will probably sound obvious, but I was surprised by how much others contributed to creating this book and making it what it is. I’m so grateful. The book wouldn’t exist if not for all the help I had every step of the way—the people I interviewed at Working Dogs for Conservation, critique partners and friends, my supportive family, my agent for her super helpful editing suggestions, Larry Day for his beautiful illustrations that bring the book to life, everyone at Eerdmans Books for Young Readers, who all did more than I could have imagined, and now bloggers and reviewers who are helping to spread the word. Everyone congratulates me as the author, but really the book is the result of the efforts of a huge number of people who were all incredibly generous with their time. That has really hit me.

Thank you, Carol, for giving us your time today and for sharing your journey with us!

Brent is here to talk about The Binky Bandit which is illustrated by Jayden Ellsworth and published by Orange Hat Publishing for kids up to 8 and will launch on June 6, 2022. The Binky Bandit is available wherever you can buy books. If you’d like to purchase a signed copy, you can do so by ordering online from the publisher.

Best Dog Books: Who is your key dog character and what kind of dog is he/she? 

My dog, Wally, is the main character in the book. He is a mini golden doodle.

L-R: Wally, Brent, Erin and Liam

Best Dog Books: Tell us about your story. 

Wally has the perfect life until a human baby brother comes home and takes lots of attention. As his jealousy rages on, he begins destroying his brother’s plastic binkies, and lots of them. Eventually, guilt for the family and environmental damage he’s causing sets in and he then does something he couldn’t before!

Best Dog Books: What inspired you to write this story?

My dog destroying Liam’s binkies was so funny to me that I decided to write Liam a poem about it so we could remember this hilarious phase in our lives.

Brent with newborn second son, Layton

Best Dog Books: What was the biggest challenge you had writing your story? How did you overcome it?

The biggest challenge I had was matching the rhyme and rhythm scheme with what I wanted the story to say.

Best Dog Books: What kind of story can we expect next from you? Is it about a dog? If so, what can you tell us about it?

My guess is the next book would be a sequel when baby brother number 2 comes home. He’s due any day now!

Best Dog Books: What else would you like us to know about you or your story?

The whole writing and publishing process has been so much fun!

Best Dog Books: Can you remember the first book that made an impact on you? Why?

Dr. Suess books, specifically The Lorax, were always some of my favorites because they were funny and had great messages!

Best Dog Books: What advice would you give to aspiring writers?

I would say let your heart write the story. Doing that helps words fall onto the page and makes the whole process so much more enjoyable.

Best Dog Books for Kids welcomes Rob Sayegh Jr.! Our blog features interviews with authors who’ve written a canine story for kids or young adults. Rob Sayegh Jr. is here to talk about LOVE TAILS which is a picture book published by Cameron Kids for kids aged 3-5.

About your Best Dog Book

Who is your key dog character(s) and what kind of dog is he/she?

LOVE TAILS celebrates all dogs, so there is not one individual protagonist but a variety of dogs shown throughout the book.

What is your dog book about?

LOVE TAILS takes the silliness of how dogs introduce themselves to one another by sniffing each other’s behind to show that every dog or human has their own take when you see them. Everyone’s tale may be different, but every “tail” is capable and full of love, no matter the tale.

About the Writing Process

What was the biggest challenge you had writing your dog book? How did you overcome it?

While writing the manuscript, the biggest challenge was bringing the words and pictures to be as simple as possible. LOVE TAILS is a book for a very young reader, and with any manuscript, I think simplifying your text is one of the most important jobs of an author for children’s picture books.

What kind of story can readers expect next from you? Is it about a dog? If so, what can you tell us about it?

The next book that I worked on is ARLO DRAWS AN OCTOPUS, written by Lori Mortensen and published by Abrams Books for Young Readers. It debuts on May 4, 2021

Can you remember the first book that made an impact on you? Why?

BUNNICULA by Deborah and James Howe. I just thought it was the funniest story, but I also loved the Harold the dog and Chester the cat really made the book special due to their animal point of view.

What is your favorite dog book? Why?

HARRY THE DIRTY DOG by Gene Zion. I always find it to be so charming whenever I read it. I personally think that when authors take something that everyone knows about (i.e., dogs hating bath time) and turn that concept around to a humorous one-of-a-kind story, it makes that story not only immediately relatable but also that much more memorable to the reader.

What advice would you give to aspiring writers?

Simplifying manuscripts is crucial, but it does not mean dumbing down your story. Simplifying is taking the complex and making it as straightforward as possible.  Children understand complex things, but it is how we as authors explain and write about concepts that leave a lasting impression.

The post best dog books for kids – LOVE TAILS by Rob Sayegh Jr. appeared first on Annemarie O'Brien.

“Fairy tale and history merge seamlessly” (Publishers Weekly, starred review) in this enchanting and lyrical novel about love and resilience from the Boston Globe-Horn Book Award winner, Katherine Rundell.

Feo’s life is extraordinary. Her mother trains domesticated wolves to be able to fend for themselves in the snowy wilderness of Russia, and Feo is following in her footsteps to become a wolf wilder. She loves taking care of the wolves, especially the three who stay at the house because they refuse to leave Feo, even though they’ve already been wilded. But not everyone is enamored with the wolves, or with the fact that Feo and her mother are turning them wild. And when her mother is taken captive, Feo must travel through the cold, harsh woods to save her—and learn from her wolves how to survive.

The post THE WOLF WILDER by Katherine Rundell appeared first on Annemarie O'Brien.

We had a wonderful chocolate lab/St. Bernard mix named Moot, who always accompanied me on road trips.  She would sit next to me in the minivan, between the front seats. Over the course of the first hour of driving, slowly, slowly, she would start to lean into me, mile by mile, pound by pound, until her full weight rested against my right arm and thigh, eventually rendering them numb. That’s where I got the dog for the story.

The story itself came as I sat, one snowy day, gazing out the window at the huge flakes falling to the ground. Slow and soft at first, then fast and thick they came on.  I looked down at big, brown Mooty, lying on the floor next to me, and a question formed in my mind: What if…there were a big, brown dog out in a storm like that? I grabbed my notebook and pen and started to write.

What came to me was not a novel, but a short story.  After that, months later, I wrote a second short story called The Leanin’ Dog and the Christmas Moon.  The biggest challenge I faced was to discover and excavate the back story that connected the two, and what I found was that the first story was the natural beginning of the novel, and the second fell into place at the end of the novel.

There are no dogs in my first novel, A Small White Scar, only a fine horse, a renegade coyote, and an aggressive, dead rattlesnake. It is a young adult Western, the coming of age story of fifteen-year-old twin brothers, one of whom has Down Syndrome.  The novel traces the boys’ journey through a treacherous external landscape and an equally treacherous internal one in search of their independence from each other.

The novel I am at work on now is a horse story.  It has been the most difficult book I have attempted so far; I think because it is based on the real life story of my best horse, Dan.  I had to try several different POVs and several different voices before I found a combination that didn’t eventually hit a wall.  What I finally settled on, what made the story flow, was third person omniscient/storyteller’s voice. After that, it was still a struggle for a long time to narrow the focus to the very heart of the story and away from the real life facts. In the end what mattered the most was: this horse has a guardian angel.

  I don’t remember the books that didn’t have an impact on me when I was a kid. When I was really young, before I could read to myself, it was a Disney book of Cinderella read to me by my mom as a bedtime story.  I’m not sure this was well thought out on her part because it seemed like every time she read it to me, I would have nightmares about the Bad Fairy chasing me, trying to get me in her clutches, and I would have to wake my mom up.

It was in fourth grade that I discovered Edward Eager’s magic books. They became the favorites of my childhood and remain the favorites of my adulthood. Half Magic, Magic by the Lake, Seven Day Magic, Magic or Not, The Well Wishers, The Time Garden, Knight’s Castle; they are all wonderful, and they kindled my imagination, my love of reading, my belief in possibilities.  I only recently discovered that in addition to these classics, Mr. Eager was also a playwright and lyricist.

The post best dog books – An Interview with Kathy Nuzum: THE LEANIN’ DOG appeared first on Annemarie O'Brien.

Hi, readers!

Many years ago, just out of college and with one year of teaching experience, I landed my dream job in New York City as an editorial assistant for the children’s paperback division of a large publishing company.  One of my first jobs was to write cover copy, which is a summary of the plot that goes on the back cover of a paperback.  I was thrilled to work on children’s books, and over the next few years, at three different companies, I took on many tasks and assignments.

Eventually, I became a senior editor.  I enjoyed everything about being an editor:  working with authors, coming up with new ideas, reading manuscripts, and editing a book from start to finish.Early in my publishing career, I decided that I wanted to write children’s books myself.  I began working on Bummer Summer, which became my first published work.  Over the next few years, I finished two more books,Early in my publishing career, I decided that I wanted to write children’s books myself.  I began working on Bummer Summer, which became my first published work.  Over the next few years, I finished two more books, writing before I went to work and on the weekends. Finally I decided to leave my editorial job and become a free-lance writer.   Working alone at home was very different from being in an office with my colleagues, but I knew it was the right choice for me.  Long-time readers may know that it was at this time that Scholastic’s editorial director asked me to write a four-book series about a group of girls who baby-sat, and The Baby-sitters Club was born!

Many years and many books later, I was delighted when Doll People co-author Laura Godwin asked me if I would be interested in editing a collection of dog stories.  Because Laura loves classic dog stories, she thought children would enjoy reading a contemporary collection from a diverse group of authors.  I happily said yes. After so many years of writing, I thought it would be fun to work once again with other authors and their stories.  An added bonus, of course, is that I love dogs!

My first task was to invite authors to contribute to the collection. Laura and I ended up with a wonderfully diverse and talented group:  fellow Scholastic authors Pam Munoz Ryan, Mark Teague and Jon J Muth, along with authors Wendy Orr, Thacher Hurd, Valerie Hobbs, Margarita Engle, and Matt de la Pena.  It was fun to work with all of these people; I’ve known Pam, Mark, and Jon for years, and it was great to get to know some of the others whose work I was familiar with but whom I had never met.  The only instruction to the authors was to write a story about a dog.  We didn’t give them any other direction; we wanted to see what the authors would come up with on their own.

My dog, Sadie, got involved with the project and wrote a forward for the book, in which she says, “Between the covers of this book, you’ll read about a boy who turns into a dog, a dog who brings a family together, a dog who lived a long time ago and was a companion to a very great artist in Paris, and about funny dogs, adventurous dogs, brave dogs, smart dogs, and dogs who perform rescues.”  I couldn’t have said it better myself!

I was also writing a story for the collection, and after some thought, I recalled a day when Sadie wandered off and went missing for several hours.  It was a scary time, although it ended well and she never ran off again. I decided to tell a similar story through the eyes of twelve-year-old Delilah, who is left in charge of her dog Picasso for the first time in her life.

In the end, I tried not to do too much editing of the other authors’ manuscripts.  I made suggestions, but felt it was important that the authors tell their own stories in their own voices.  I think this is what makes the collection, Because of Shoe (the title of Pam Munoz Ryan’s story), such an adventure for the reader!

As for me, taking a break from my writing to return to my editorial roots was a great experience.  I thoroughly enjoyed it, and it’s a challenge I look forward to taking on again.

Happy reading!

Love,

Ann

Best Dog Books for Kids welcomes Sheri Wall to our blog that features interviews with authors who’ve written a canine story for kids or young adults. Sheri is here to talk about The Silly Milly the Dane Collection, which is a picture book collection published by A Matter of Rhyme for kids aged 3 to 8.

About your Best Dog Book

Who is your key dog character(s) and what kind of dog is he/she?

Milly is a Great Dane, and she is my niece’s beloved pet.

What is your dog book about?

The Silly Milly Collection consists of three books (with another on the way).

Silly Milly the Dane is about her all-around big dog shenanigans.

A Silly Milly Fall combines Milly’s Halloween and Thanksgiving “petitude.”

A Silly Milly Christmas chronicles a family Christmas Eve where Milly was our entertainment.

What inspired you to write this dog book?

My niece, Erin, asked me to write a book about Milly. I had just started writing books as an empty-nester creative outlet, and Erin thought Milly would make a great main character. I definitely agreed!

What else would you like readers to know about your dog book?

Milly’s books are written in limericks with varying degrees of repetition to keep all readers interested and entertained. Just about everything in Milly’s books has actually happened. I’ve taken a few creative liberties, though. My niece, Erin, is a graphic designer and she personally completes the layout process for each of her Milly’s books.

About the Writing Process

What was the biggest challenge you had writing your dog book? How did you overcome it?

Writing limericks while varying the repetition was my biggest challenge. I also needed to keep the same feel throughout. There are only so many words that rhyme with Milly. I also wanted to introduce young readers to new words, alliteration, and synonym usage. I just kept editing and trying different combinations, and it all seems to work!

What kind of story can readers expect next from you? Is it about a dog? If so, what can you tell us about it?

While I have other rhyming children’s books, Milly’s books are the most popular. Her next book will feature a very special day that is shared by everyone everywhere! I hope to release it this spring. There are limericks galore and some special guests in the book.

Can you remember the first book that made an impact on you? Why?

From my childhood, I remember The Cat in the Hat by Dr. Seuss. I just loved the goofy playfulness and the bright pictures.

While reading to my young sons, I loved the classic The Red Carpet by Rex Parkin. It was so flowy and fun.

What is your favorite dog book? Why?

That’s a tough question. I’m going to say No Roses for Harry by Gene Zion because I read it to my niece and my sons, and we all identified with Harry not liking a clothing gift he had received. We weren’t fortunate enough to have the same resolution Harry did though.

What advice would you give to aspiring writers?

A writer’s job is to write. Keep writing, whether it is just a list of ideas, little poems, or funny lines that pop into your head. Eventually, you will write your first book. There is so much information available online to help you on your journey, and there is always more to learn.

Best Dog Books for Kids welcomes Karah Sutton to our blog that features interviews with authors who’ve written a canine story for kids or young adults. Karah Sutton is here to talk about A Wolf for a Spell which is a middle grade fantasy published by Knopf Books for Young Readers for kids aged 8-12.

About your Best Dog Book

Who is your key dog character(s) and what kind of dog is he/she?

Zima is a wolf in a Russian fairytale-inspired forest, living with her brothers Grom, Leto, and Potok. She is also friendly with a lone wolf named Veter.

What is your dog book about?

A Wolf for a Spell follows three main characters: Zima the wolf, a village girl named Nadya, and the notorious witch of Slavic folklore Baba Yaga. When Zima goes to the witch for help in saving her brother from a hunter, the witch casts a spell that causes her and Zima to trade places. Suddenly Zima finds herself in the middle of a plot that could save or destroy her beloved forest home

What inspired you to write this dog book?

Wolves are almost always the enemy in fairytales, so I wanted to write a story about a wolf who gets to be the hero. It wasn’t until I’d worked on the story for a few months that I had the idea to base it on Russian fairytales, specifically the story of ‘Ivan Tsarevich and the Gray Wolf’. That was when the story really started to take on a life of its own.

What else would you like readers to know about your dog book?

While not precisely a dog book, I think readers who love dogs will enjoy seeing wolves as the heroes of this adventure!

About the Writing Process

What was the biggest challenge you had writing your dog book? How did you overcome it?

The story has a rather intricate plot, with different characters all undertaking their own plans, crossing paths, twisting and turning. Keeping all of that straight and having it all make sense was definitely a challenge. It felt a bit like trying to solve a puzzle when I could only see some of the pieces.

What kind of story can readers expect next from you? Is it about a dog? If so, what can you tell us about it?

I think my stories will always feature animals in some way, though not necessarily dogs/wolves. My next book focuses more on birds, specifically swans.

Can you remember the first book that made an impact on you? Why?

This is such an interesting question, because I feel like most books have had an impact on me, so this is almost like trying to remember the very first book I ever read, which I’m not sure I do! The earliest book I can remember rereading and which has affected me even into adulthood is The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood by Howard Pyle. I think my stories tend to be about forests because that book made me want to live there.

What is your favorite dog book? Why?

A book I love that heavily influenced A Wolf for a Spell is The Wolf Wilder by Katherine Rundell. It asks very intriguing questions about what happens when people wild animals such as wolves as pets, but it’s also a thrilling adventure in a frozen Russian landscape.

What advice would you give to aspiring writers?

So much of writing and publishing is about not giving up. Keep writing that next page, next chapter, next story. The more you write the more you learn, and you never know which story will capture someone’s interest and heart.
