Inspired by a child’s crayon drawing sent to the author not long after her husband’s
unexpected death, this heartfelt story is beautifully illustrated with exquisitely rendered
drawings and brilliant swathes of watercolor wash over photographic imagery.
Buddy the cat was lost, and then rescued, and then found by his forever friend Uncle Kenneth.
But then Uncle Kenneth was lost and Buddy could not find him. He deeply mourned Uncle
Kenneth’s sudden absence, looking for him everywhere.
We know so little about the stray animals we welcome into our hearts and homes. We know
even less about how they feel when their beloved human caretakers go missing.
Depicting Buddy’s journey through confusion and sadness to love again, this picture book
helps us understand what it means for an animal companion to lose his dearest friend and,
eventually, gain new dear friends, while treasuring lasting memories.
Story and pictures will appeal to all ages.
Про автора
With her newly minted college degree in fine art in hand, Carolyn Rice Dean’s first job was at a printing company where she quickly learned the technical aspects of print reproduction from original concept to finished product. This unique combination of skills afforded her the opportunity to realize her lifelong passion for art as an independent creative talent, collaborator and producer. Over the years she has undertaken a wide range of projects for universities, museums, government agencies and utilities, a nationwide distributor, and many nonprofit organizations. The Story of Buddy and Uncle Kenneth (2021) is Carolyn’s first venture in children’s book design for an author, but it won’t be her last.Більше електронних книг того самого автора / Редактор
