Met the Author of a Wonderful Children's Book: "Perfectly Precious Peggy" by Dale Lee Loomis

In August, I gave a fundraising lecture at the Animal Rescue of Rhode Island, and that's where I met Dale Lee Loomis. She's a school teacher who published a really great children's book called "Perfectly Precious Peggy." The book is based on the true story of a little goat named Peggy who was born with three legs, and how it didn't prevent her from enjoying life. What a great message

Dale surprised me with a signed copy of the book, and it means so much to me. The book has several messages for young and old readers and is wonderfully written and beautifully illustrated. At the back of the book, Dale includes photos, so you can see what little Peggy looks like in them. Pick up a copy!

Dale said:   I had always had the desire to write for kids and this experience sort of plopped itself on my lap.  As an educator of 34 years (7th and 8th grade), I have seen a lot in terms of kids' abilities/personalities/ perspectives and have taught many young people, who can benefit from the overall message in the book.  There are a few themes running through it and in the short time I have spent in classrooms with the book it really has been well received by kids!

In addition to teaching, writing books, and working with animals, Dale is also a photographer, too (Portraits by Loomis).
