Join us for a fun story time on Saturday, June 6th at the Denver Fred & June's with children's author Donna Chisum as she shares her two stories with us about learning from experiences and everlasting friendships!
STEVIE HATES SHOES
Little Stevie hates shoes, and nothing will make her wear them. Not ice cream, not a new toy, not even a puppy! She’d much rather go barefoot so she can feel the fresh grass under her feet and the cool, sticky mud between her toes. But after a painful mishap, she learns that sometimes it’s important to do things we don’t like in order to keep our bodies safe and healthy.
GRAYFACE & WIGGLEBUTT
Young Wigglebutt loves his DBF (doggie best friend!) Grayface. From running and exploring, to herding cows and chasing chickens around the farm, the two are inseparable. Eventually the time comes for old Grayface to cross the rainbow bridge to heaven, and poor Wigglebutt is beside himself. What will he do without his DBF? So, when a new little friend joins the farm, Wigglebutt isn’t sure how to react at fi rst. Over time, however, he learns about the true meaning of friendship and what it means to love somebody after they’re gone. This sweet and touching tale provides a gentle lesson for children about love, loss, and everlasting friendship.
About the author:
Donna has been writing for as long as she can remember, but just became a published author in September 2023 with Grayface & Wigglebutt. Her second book, Stevie Hates Shoes, came out in May 2024, and her next book, The Lonely Rainbow, is tentatively set to launch early this fall. She was born in Charlotte into a military family and after several moves, wound up in Idaho, where she spent about 20 years. Her son was born in Boise and they returned to Charlotte in 1996. She has a wonderful daughter-in-law and two granddaughters (the youngest is named Stevie!) Donna has recently retired, which she highly recommends!
