📚🐾 National Read a Book Day is September 6!

There’s something special about sitting down with a child and sharing a book together. A story can spark questions, laughter, imagination, and memories that last long after the last page is turned.

As an author, I love knowing that my stories may become part of those moments.

If you’re looking for something to read with a young reader for National Read a Book Day, I’d love for you to spend a little time with Britan and his newest adventure, Britan’s Days Off: A Therapy Dog’s Adventures.

Britan works hard as a therapy dog, bringing smiles and comfort to the people he meets. His new book gives children a peek at what he likes to do when he gets some well-earned time off. 🐶❤️

Perfect for children ages 4–8 and a fun book to share with parents, grandparents, teachers, and anyone who loves reading with a child.

📖 How will you celebrate National Read a Book Day?

📚🐾 What a wonderful Saturday at Barnes & Noble Arboretum!

Thank you to everyone who joined Britan and me for our reading and book signing this past Saturday. I loved seeing the children gathered around for story time, meeting families, and sharing Britan’s Days Off: A Therapy Dog’s Adventures with new young readers.

There’s something very special about watching children meet the real Britan after hearing about his adventures in the book. Of course, he enjoyed every bit of the attention. 🐶❤️

A special thank you to Barnes & Noble Arboretum for welcoming us and giving us the opportunity to spend the afternoon surrounded by books, families, and new friends.

And thank you to everyone who purchased a book, stopped to say hello, or spent part of their Saturday with us. These are the moments that make being an author so rewarding.

Happy National Dog Day! 🐾❤️

Anyone who knows me knows how much I love dogs, and one very special dog has found his way into both my heart and my writing.

Britan has brought so much joy into my life. Watching him as a therapy dog, seeing the smiles he brings to people, and sharing our everyday adventures together inspired me to put some of those experiences on paper.

That inspiration became Moments With Britan: A Therapy Dog, followed by Britan’s Days Off: A Therapy Dog’s Adventures.

Writing these books has given me a wonderful way to share my love for Britan and celebrate the connection we have with our dogs. They become part of our families, join us on adventures, comfort us, make us laugh, and somehow always seem to know when we need them close.

Today I’m celebrating Britan and all the dogs who make our lives happier simply by being there.

Happy National Dog Day from this very lucky dog mom. 🐶💕

Tell me about the special dog in your life. I’d love to hear about them.

One of the greatest gifts a therapy dog can give is confidence.

This week, Britan visited the library to spend time with young readers. One by one, children sat beside him and read their favorite stories aloud. There was no pressure, no judgment, just a calm, furry friend who listened with complete attention.

Programs like these help children build reading skills, gain confidence, and discover that reading can be fun. Watching each child's smile grow as they finished their story was a wonderful reminder of the difference therapy dogs can make.

I'm so proud of Britan and grateful to the library for creating opportunities that encourage a lifelong love of reading.
