Derby's Discovery

By Shawnah Van Gronigen

Book Overview

The book is about a well-loved puppy who discovers that not all pets are as lucky as he is when he meets an injured dog while playing at the beach.

During the 2020 pandemic the author bought her first puppy. She was surprised at how much it cost to keep him healthy. She also noticed how many people in the community who are without housing, travel with a pet. She wondered how many of the beloved companions went without veterinary care because of the cost and how she and Derby could help. Derby's Discovery is a children's book with a target audience of 5-8 year olds. The book is about a well-loved puppy who discovers that not all pets are as lucky as he is when he meets an injured little dog while playing at the beach.
