“beautiful sense of fragility, steadfastness, and connection” Booklist starred review “A major step in publishing” Magnies Volums, Australia “The sky’s the limit for this puppy!” Calgary Herald In the presence of an animal, we discover what is essential about ourselves.” Horn Book When I got home I thought, “Hey! I just made up a story! Here’s my chance to be a writer.” That was the beginning of the book How Smudge Came. What could I do? I didn’t want to disappoint him. Not one of them was about a woman who gets a dog from the SPCA. I knew hundreds of stories from my work as a professional storyteller. “Tell me a story about a woman named Cindy who gets a dog called Smudge from the SPCA.” “What kind of story would you like?” I asked. I went over and asked him if he’d like me to tell him a story. I wanted to cheer him up, even if only for a minute. My friend said, “He has a hard time at home.” I knew how miserable that could feel.
Then I saw a boy sitting alone and listless on the grass. All around us children were playing happy games. One lovely afternoon my friend and I went to the park. How can Cindy get the puppy back? How can she keep him forever? Help comes in an unexpected way which makes many people happy. She hides him in her room, but in no time he’s discovered and sent to the animal shelter. Dogs aren’t allowed in the group home where she lives.
