With a little help
from our friends
A tasty story to read with children over the holidays.
A children’s book author, and a former U.S. Airforce veteran writes a book about facing challenges by cooperating with friends. It is a perfect read for the holidays when you have young family members visiting. Readers can see photos of real truffle sniffing dogs and learn about truffle hunting at the end of the story! Truffle stuffing, anyone?
Peri and Tubs (a pig and a dog) are best friends who spend their days sniffing and digging in the rich soil. This year the Truffle Dog Championship is threatened by a rule change. Can the friends work together to win the day? On their own, they’re at a disadvantage, but, in the end, true friendship finds a way.

Diverse Voices-Bravo! is my curated reading list. I invite you to explore it for your classroom and library collection. Today’s book is for younger children. I present diverse authors and their stories each week in a list too large for me to read, but perfect for sharing with you.
Enjoy these works and my own books filled with resilience and adventure. One of my latest books is Lupe Throws Like A Girl. Find it at Bublish.com and all major outlets. Visit me at www.anitaperezferguson.com
“…Lupe encounters the ghost of former baseball all-star Roberto Clemente, uncovering a supernatural mystery that challenges everything she thought she knew about the game, herself, and her community… A warm, sharply observed coming-of-age story with a strong Latina at its center.” -- Kirkus Review
