PART OF YOUR PACK: A RESCUE TALE

about the book

LOVES AND HOPES

Feeling alone in the world, Pup is a stray dog who has never had a loving family to call his own. While on his journey in search of belonging, will sweet encounters with creatures and people ignite a spark in Pup to bravely sniff out a forever home?

LOVES AND HOPES

Part of Your Pack:

A Rescue Tale

was created by combining

three of my loves:

our dog, Chase (whom we rescued from Pets Alive Niagara in 2020)
writing and word play/rhyming
classroom teaching and storytelling

This has truly been a Canadian self-publishing labour of love . . . with a little help from a furry, four-legged friend from Kentucky, USA.

I hope that my picture book serves as an inspirational stepping stone to a child's passion for reading.

I also hope that through following Pup's own journey, readers understand the invaluable role that empathy plays in keeping all creatures connected.

Lastly, I hope my book serves to educate readers on the important organizations and individuals involved in animal rescue.

"A sweet story to share with family and friends. Children and adults alike will appreciate the illustrations of familiar creatures, along with the easy rhyme scheme. Lloyd brings first-hand experience to this loving tale of lost and found."

JEN FARLEY (GR.3 TEACHER)

ERIKA MACNEIL (TEACHER-LIBRARIAN)

"My Grade 3 class loves this book! Ever since I read it to them, they've been fighting over who gets to read it next. Not only were they enraptured by the story and have been talking about being part of a pack like Wiggle Butt, but they told me how much they also enjoyed the illustrations...the children thought it was so cool that the story was written by a local author and the illustrations completed by someone from their town!"

"As a retired teacher-librarian, I wish I had had this book in my collection! Everyone would like to belong to a forever pack like the main character, Pup. Enjoy his journey to find that forever home, through the well-written and delightfully illustrated pages of this book. It has a resounding message for us all."

FrANCES P. (RETIRED TEaCher-librarian and GRANDMOTHER)

" What a joy it is to share this book with my grandson! The dialogue moves across the pages, the words flow all around the illustrations - using rhyming, counting and alliteration. As we read, we are also subtly given knowledge about various creatures (possums sleeping in the day, an "army" of frogs, a "swarm" of bees). While following Pup's journey, we learn how the rescue system works. The rewarding culmination at the end of the book, which makes the story that much more meaningful, is to see the real "Pup" who inspired this story. This story brings home the fact that, as all dog owners know, our "Pups" are a special part of our families. There is so much to this book on all levels. A must-have for school libraries and home collections!"

"Knowing the author, Luisa Lloyd and her family for over 20 years- it brought me great joy and privilege to read this story to the many students who enter my library. My students couldn't wait to sit down and read the book, as many of them have dogs, and many shared that theirs were rescues from abroad. They truly enjoyed seeing the pictures in the book as I described the author and the family. Great connections were made to the book, and some students who struggle with their literacy skills were able to pick up on the rhyming words! Each page brought them such joy as they got to chime in and read along. It was a great read aloud with lovely pictures for students to share their animal stories, and to build wonderful discussions about saving an animal's life!"
