Marnie's Message

By Deb Weilnau

Marnie, a gentle dog with a new litter of puppies, finds herself alone and scared. But everything changes the day a kind rescuer brings them to safety. After a few days of transition, Marnie and her puppies arrive at their new foster home. She learns what it feels like to be cared for, comforted, and understood. As her puppies find homes of their own, Marnie discovers that families can be made in many ways-and love can come from people who weren't there at the beginning but choose to stay.

Marnie's Message is a tender, beautifully illustrated story about rescue, healing, and the courage it takes to trust again. While following Marnie's journey, young readers-especially those experiencing foster care or other big life transitions-will find gentle reminders that they are worthy of safety, kindness, and a forever home where they truly belong.
