Laura Fritz is the author of a delightful children’s
book, Poodle on a Noodle. Laura is a
cancer survivor and she donates a portion of proceeds from her book to help
fund research to find a cure for cancer and other childhood diseases.
Laura’s black poodle, Casey, is the main character
of her book and children love him. The book is filled with pictures of Casey
and his antics. Laura and Casey appear at Barnes and Noble and at fund raising
events all around the Atlanta area. See
the video here.
I am very impressed with this author I met at the
Blue Ridge Writers’ Conference last year in Blue Ridge, Georgia. She is a
mother and her efforts are solely based on wanting to help others who face
horrendous challenges as she did.
Laura impressed Dr.
Good, veterinarian, who is founder of the Homeless Pets Foundation (http://www.homelesspets.com/).
He asked Laura to write a second book and she did. Poodle in a Puddle is also popular with children. This book teaches
the value of putting a chip in your dog’s skin so if he is ever lost, he can be
returned to his owner.
Poodle
in a Puddle is a touching story about little Casey who wakes up to find his
family is missing. He sets out on a journey to find them, but loses his
collar along the way. As night begins to fall we find him all alone,
cold, scared, and wet, standing in a puddle unsure which way to go.
The
book is jam-packed with pictures of Casey and his journey.
Dr. Good commissioned Laura to write one more book
and this one is to help increase awareness of the Homeless Pets Foundation. More
about that book later.
Grandparents purchase these books for their
grandchildren because they teach valuable lessons and the children enjoy hearing
them read aloud over and over. Casey is real and can be seen around Atlanta,
and north Georgia as he greets kids and parents with his happy little face.
