The teaching career helps so many children in great need of wisdom for their age-group, as well as finding how they might help with other stressors in their students' lives. This teacher is a golden nugget. The child involved is facing a challenge in his life that is brought to school when he shares it with his friends. In return, the teacher gets involved when she finds out about his unhappiness. Clearly, his stressor is that his family is moving from the only home he has ever known, and he is leaving family behind that he loves very dearly. The teacher provides a new friend for her student that brings great joy and friendship into the child's life. This friend is filled with memories for the child to take on his journey to his new home where he could then replace any loneliness with happiness. After 30 years in the business world I took an early retirement. I filled my extra time with church work, gardening, crafting, knitting and helping with our beloved grandchildren. However, there was still a void in my heart that needed to be filled. The fullness came when I started writing about memories from the past and present. My husband, Bob, and I have a blended marriage of 3 children, 10 grandchildren, and 8 great grandchildren (at this time). I am sure there will be more greats to come. I was blessed to be able to go to Israel in 2005. What a wonderful adventure I shared with many from the church we attended at that time. Bob and I are active members of Gracepoint church in Whiteland, Indiana. Bob is a deacon, helps with sanctuary cleaning and the church's food bank. I am in the choir, attend women's bible study, and we are both involved in a Grace to Glory group as well as a Life Group. I give all honor, glory and praise to our Lord Jesus Christ who has put the words to my heart to author this book.

A puppy named “Hugs” decides to visit each animal on the farm to find out which animal gives the best kiss. From duck, to rabbit, to butterfly, and pig and horse, he goes. All are happy to oblige. The pup discovers the horse’s kiss is a little wet and sticky, but nice and warm. The rabbit’s kiss is a little wiggly, but quite soft. Who will have the best kiss? He collects lots of wonderful nuzzles, but when he returns home, he discovers that the best kiss of all is the one he gets from his loving mother. Like a kiss itself, this tale may well be the subject of repeated requests. Publishers Weekly Fans of Weninger's series about the rabbit Davy will recognize illustrator Tharlet's expressive style, even though her character this time is a puppy, Hugs. With fur that seems real enough to touch, a sunny disposition, and sweet manners, Hugs is a real charmer. Booklist Rare is the child, parent, or older sibling who will be able to resist this invitation to mix reading with kissing. Kirkus Reviews
