A much appreciated note from a grandfather

With their reading assistance dog.

Look who Pet Partners listed as there favorite book…The Jacket Nobody Wanted. You can support Pet Partners so they can keep reading with their reading buddies by going to www.petpartners.org/donate.  Happy dogs and happy kids!!! Keep reading.

This is where the idea for the story of The Jacket Nobody Wanted began – with Andi Young at the Sapphire Salon in Santa Rosa.  Sometime ago I made my usual monthly visit to Andi at the Sapphire Salon to get my bangs cut. She asked me if a jacket that had been left there belonged to me. It didn’t. Weeks and weeks went by and no one claimed it – no one ever did…thus a story about an unclaimed jacket began to percolate in my mind. And, as you might guess, Andi has a cameo in the book. Fittingly, the book is also now available at Sapphire Salon.
