My neighbor published a children’s book, Birdie & Bodhi: Coastal Tails. Our dog, Tide, made it in the book and is friends with Bodhi, one of the main characters.
I found the story my neighbor told about creating the book very inspiring. She got the idea for the book after her and her daughter got Birdie and Bodhi. She was watching them play often and thought a book would be fun to write.
She then went out and made it happen by finding an illustrator and someone who can do the publishing and distributing of the book.
Pretty cool and a lesson in if you have an idea and are passionate about it, find a way to make it happen.
The book can be pre-ordered here.
