Isaac embraces the unexpected joys that a rainy day can bring.

I had one last thing to do for Frank and it had to be perfect. It was an unusually chilly morning in late May and today was his funeral. I had been dreading this day for months, probably even years. As I stood in front of the church in a daze, watching familiar faces go by, I clutched Frank's wedding ring, now on a chain around my neck, and promised him I would make him proud.

Olivia and The Mush A Tale of Two Cats, the first book in a new children's book series, encourages parents to read and draw with their preschoolers. When parents read the book to their little ones, they, in turn, can visualize the text being read, and then turn those thoughts and new-forming ideas into actual pictures. Theyll be accompanied on this by two adopted cats: Olivia and Miles (or, The Mush) who will provide numerous opportunities to give them life and flesh them out. This story will take your children on a comfortable verbal journey presenting different situations where they can turn what they read and hear into pictures of the cats, certainly, but other people, places and buildings, and even emotions. This makes for a wonderful opportunity for parents and children to spend quality reading and drawing time together. And, first readers can make this book their first foray in going it alone, with the ';training wheels off'!Olivia and The Mush are real cats, and the author hopes that you and your children have lots of fun with them!
